Answer for screen readers
The final answer is four haploid daughter cells
More Information
Meiosis results in the formation of four haploid daughter cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell and from each other. These cells develop into gametes—sperm or egg cells.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the number of cells formed at the end of meiosis I (which is two) with the number formed at the end of meiosis II (which is four).
