What is the outcome when a cell undergoes meiosis

Meiosis is an important process wherein a single cell divides two times in order to produce four cells which all contain half the original amount of the genetic information contained in the parent cell. The resulting cells are the gametes which are our sex cells.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that leads to the production of four daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes that is usually possessed by standard cells. The process is used in males to generate sperm cells and in females to generate eggs.
