Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nuclei re-form, and new nuclear membranes develop. This process results in four new cells, or gametes. Each gamete contains only one chromosome from each homologous pair. This makes the cell haploid, meaning that it has half the chromosome number of the original diploid cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is the production of four genetically diverse haploid daughter cells from one diploid parent cell. Meiosis can only occur in eukaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis involves two nuclear and cell divisions without interphase in between, starting with one diploid cell and generating four haploid cells.
