PATHOLOGY

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: -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-3: -Since cell division occurs twice during meiosis, one starting cell can produce four gametes (eggs or sperm). In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -You can also think of this in terms of the processes that occur, namely, meiosis I and meiosis II. We have nuclear cell divisions happening twice and we start with two diploid cells. Thus, we end up with four. Intuitively, this is quite convenient as the cells continue towards fusing to form a zygote.
