Detailed explanation-1: -Both produce two daughter cells from each parent cell. However, Meiosis I begins with one diploid parent cell and ends with two haploid daughter cells, halving the number of chromosomes in each cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis I is the stage of cell division where the cells carrying two sets of chromosomes that are divided into two cells that possess half the diploid set of chromosomes. Hence, during this phase, the diploid cells are replicated and produce haploid cells. Therefore, there are haploid cells at the end of meiosis I.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis splits the chromosome sets into new cells, forming the final products of meiosis: four haploid cells in which each chromosome has just one chromatid.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of meiosis I, two haploid cells (where each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids) are produced.
Detailed explanation-5: -At the end of meiosis I, there are two daughter cells. Although each chromosome has two chromatids, each cell only has one of the original homologous chromosomes. This is why they are considered haploid.
