If you are asking about cellular meiosis, one diploid parent cell will ultimately form four haploid daughter cells. The parent cell replicates all of its DNA, splits into two intermediate daughter cells that are diploid, and each of these intermediate daughter cells splits to form two more daughter cells. The end result is four haploid cells.
First of all, mitosis happens in the body to replicate cells in the skin (for example). Meiosis happens in the sex organs, it makes gametes (sex cells). In mitosis, the one parent cell and the two daughter cells are genetically identical and they have the same number of chromosomes. In meiosis, the one parent cell and the four daughter cells are not genetically identical. The parent cell will have the full number of chromosomes but the daughter cells will only have half the normal number of chromosomes.
There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
chromosomes fail to separate during cell division
Meiosis is the process where sex cells are formed. They are diploid in the beginning and end up being haploid. Once cell dividing in meiosis will form 4 daughter cells.Mitosis is the process by which normal body cells reproduce. The start out as diploid cells and end up as diploid cells. One cell dividing in mitosis will form 2 daughter cells.Mitosis is the more common form of cell reproduction!By: Awaleh God
Well, the original parent has 8 chromosomes, and the result of mitosis is 2 diploid daughter cells, so both daughter cells will end up wit the same number of chromosomes as the mother-8. ok woow to much writing in more simple terms that would mean 16 cells during- 8 cells after
Mitosis produces 2 diploid cells and Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells and Mitosis involves 1 division while meiosis involes 2 divisoinsMitosis takes place within somatic cells (cells that make up the body), while meiosis takes place within gamete cells (sex cells). As such, meiosis produces more gamete cells, and mitosis produces somatic cells. Mitosis is the process which is responsible for replacing dead or wounded skin cells. Mitosis divides a single somatic cell into two daughter cells, while gametes are produced in fours; more specifically, one single cell produces four daughter cells.Mitosis the reproduction of body cells. After going through Mitosis, the new daughter cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells. Meiosis is the reproduction of reproductive/sex cells. After completing the process, the daughter cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the parent cells.For example:Mitosis: Body cells begin with 46 chromosomes. The new daughter cells will have the same amount.Meiosis: Reproductive cell X (X being a variable) has 46 chromosomes. After completing meiosis, the daughter cells will have 23 chromosomes.
The short answer is four (if you consider the diploid cell formed by the combination of a mother cell and a father cell to be the "parent cell". Meiosis begins with one diploid cell containing two copies of each chromosome-one from the organism's mother and one from its father-and produces four haploid cells containing one copy of each chromosome. Since this requires both a father cell and a mother cell to combine to form a single diploid cell, you go from two cells to one cell to four cells.

i believe that if meiosis did not cut the number of chromosomes in half, we would have more than 46 chromosomes, essentially killing off future generations because the daughter cells would be different from the parent cells.
is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells
Daughter cells produced by mitosis will be genetically identical to their parent cell. Mitosis is the standard, ho-hum way that cells divide. It's how your skin cells make more skin, how your kidney cells make more kidney, how most bacteria reproduce, etc. The daughter cells will be a bit smaller, and they'll have about half the number of mitochondria and other organelles; they'll catch up to their parent cell in size and organelles if given a bit of time. But genetically (if you look at the chromosomes), they should be identical unless something went wrong. The type of cell division where daughter cells will be genetically DIFFERENT from their parent cell is miosis (also spelled myosis), which is how humans and other creatures make sperm and egg cells.

A daughter cell and its parent cell are exact copies of each other.
Two identical daugher cells with full complements of DNA
A parent cell, also known as mother cell, is the origin of other cells. It is a cell that splits to make two or more daughter cells. A parent cell can be the first stem cell in a line of expanding cells.
