Detailed explanation-1: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -During meiosis II, each cell containing 46 chromatids yields two cells, each with 23 chromosomes. Originally, there were two cells that underwent meiosis II; therefore, the result of meiosis II is four cells, each with 23 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis functions to reduce the number of chromosomes to one half. Each daughter cell that is produced will have one half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is part of the sexual process because gametes (sperm, eggs) have one half the chromosomes as diploid (2N) individuals.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chromosomes get divided in each cell during meiosis. The parent cell remains diploid in nature( 46 chromosomes in each cell) after meiosis I. After meiosis II, when each parent cell gets divided into two gametes each gamete cell contains 23 chromosomes.
