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.
Each cell contains one half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Meiosis is similar to the cell division process of non-sex cells known as mitosis. Mitosis produces two cells that are genetically identical to and contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. These cells are diploid cells because they contain two sets of chromosomes.
