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: -The purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes, or sex cells. During meiosis, four daughter cells are produced, each of which are haploid (containing half as many chromosomes as the parent cell).
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Telophase II: During telophase II, cell division begins again in each of the two daughter cells, creating 4 daughter cells. Each of these 4 daughter cells contains 23 chromosomes, making them haploid, and none of the 4 is exactly alike (due to crossing over and independent assortment).
