How many genetically diverse daughter cells are produced during meiosis? 

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces four genetically diverse daughter cells from one parent cell. The process of meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, known as meiosis I and meiosis II. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over. The paired chromosomes then separate, leading to genetic diversity in the resulting daughter cells.

During meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated, resulting in four genetically diverse daughter cells. This is because each daughter cell receives a random assortment of chromosomes from the parent cell, which is sorted and distributed during the two rounds of division. The process of meiosis is important for sexual reproduction, as it allows for the production of genetically diverse offspring with unique combinations of traits from both parents.
