Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is a type of cell division which occurs in the germ cells of gonads(testes and ovaries). At the end of the meiotic cell division, four haploid daughter cells are produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is sometimes called “reduction division” because it reduces the number of chromosomes to half the normal number so that, when fusion of sperm and egg occurs, baby will have the correct number.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Meiosis involves two divisions and results in four unique daughter cells called gametes. Meiosis begins with one parent cell, after the first division there are two daughter cells, and then those each split, resulting in a total of four daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -During meiosis, each diploid cell undergoes two rounds of division to yield four haploid daughter cells-the gametes.
