Detailed explanation-1: -During meiosis, a diploid parent cell, which has two copies of each chromosome, undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division to produce four haploid cells. These cells develop into sperm or ova.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, whereas meiosis produces four non-identical haploid cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
