Understand that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II, starting from one diploid parent cell.
Recall that meiosis I is a reductional division where homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two daughter cells that are haploid but still have duplicated chromosomes.
Recognize that meiosis II is an equational division similar to mitosis, where sister chromatids separate, producing a total of four daughter cells.
Note that each of the four daughter cells produced after meiosis II is haploid, containing one set of chromosomes.
Conclude that from one diploid parent cell, meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells after completion of both meiosis I and meiosis II.
