Understand that human gametogenesis involves meiosis, a special type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing haploid cells from a diploid germ cell.
Recall that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II, each with its own phases (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase).
Recognize that one diploid germ cell (2n) undergoes meiosis I to produce two haploid cells (n), each with duplicated chromosomes.
Then, each of these two haploid cells undergoes meiosis II, which separates sister chromatids, resulting in a total of four haploid daughter cells.
Conclude that the number of genetically distinct haploid daughter cells produced from one diploid germ cell by meiosis is four.
