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.
Mitosis and meiosis. Normal cell division in all cells, except germ cells, occurs by 2 mechanical processes that initially divide the nucleus then the cell cytoplasm. This process produces two (daughter) cells that should be genetically identical to the parent cell. Germ cells, oocyte and spermatozoa, undergo meiotic cell division. 1  Mitosis segregation of chromosomes and formation of 2 nuclei.  Cytokinesis splitting of the cell as a whole into 2 daughter cells.
