Detailed explanation-1: -During meiosis, a diploid germ cell undergoes two cell divisions to produce four haploid gamete cells (e.g., egg or sperm cells), which are genetically distinct from the original parent cell and contain half as many chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -To put that another way, meiosis in humans is a division process that takes us from a diploid cell-one with two sets of chromosomes-to haploid cells-ones with a single set of chromosomes. In humans, the haploid cells made in meiosis are sperm and eggs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is in the first meiotic division and during the telophase stage each of the diploid cell results into two haploid cells. These two haploid cells of first meiotic division would have second meiotic division and at the end result into four haploid cells. These later develop into sex gametes.

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