The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.
This results in 4 daughter cells, unlike Mitosis which results  in only 2 daughter cells. Also, in Mitosis the daughter cells are  identical to the original cell, while in Meiosis, it increases  genetic variation, because it has characteristics of both parent  cells.
