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: -During meiosis one cell? divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell – they are haploid. Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes? (eggs in females and sperm in males).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number to half. Hence, if daughter cells have 4 chromosome, the original parent or mother cell must have 8 chromosomes.
