In humans meiosis produces 23 chromosomes.
The human body cell has 46 chromosomes
When meiosis occurs 1/2 of the body cells go into the haploid cell produced
Because in meiosis the chromosomes don't line up
Meiosis.
It produces four genetically different cells with 23 chromosomes each. They are haploid.
Half the number that were in the original cell.
Meiosis will produce a total of 4 cells and no, they are genetically unique. In meiosis, a critical step called "crossing over" (or chromosomal crossover) takes place which exchanges genetic material of paired chromosomes. This increases genetics diversity. Also, at the end of meiosis, each daughter cell at the end will have HALF of the original number of chromosomes as the parent cell. That is why in humans, cells have 46 chromosomes but sperm and ovum cell only have 23.

Meiosis.
It produces four genetically different cells with 23 chromosomes each. They are haploid.
Half the number that were in the original cell.
The new cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.

In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
