Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
Recall that human cells typically have 46 chromosomes, which are organized into 23 pairs. These are known as diploid cells.
During meiosis, the chromosome number is halved to produce haploid cells. Haploid cells contain one set of chromosomes, which is half the diploid number.
In humans, meiosis results in gametes (sperm and egg cells) that each have 23 chromosomes, which is the haploid number.
Therefore, the correct answer is that meiosis in humans produces cells with 23 chromosomes.
