Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of haploid cells from a diploid cell.
Recall that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell.
In meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated, similar to mitosis, resulting in four haploid cells.
Conclude that starting from one diploid cell, meiosis produces four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the others.
