Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of meiosis, which consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two cells. Each of these cells has half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, making them haploid.
Recognize that meiosis II is similar to mitosis, where the sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated.
After meiosis II, each of the two haploid cells from meiosis I divides again, resulting in a total of four haploid cells.
Conclude that both the cells produced from meiosis I and meiosis II are haploid, as they contain one set of chromosomes.
