I think what you are asking is "What are the two distinct processes of meiosis?"
At the beginning of meiosis, there is a diploid cell (chromosomes come in pairs) with duplicated chromosomes (each pair of chromosomes is duplicated). The cell undergoes two processes: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Meiosis I produces two haploid cells (unpaired chromosomes), but the chromosomes are still duplicated. These two cells then undergo Meiosis II, in which the two haploid cells are split, with one set of unpaired chromosomes going to one and the other set of unpaired chromosomes to the other. The end result of Meiosis II is four haploid cells with unduplicated chromosomes.
In short, when a cell undergoes the complete process of meiosis, a single diploid cell with duplicated chromosomes is turned into four haploid cells with unduplicated chromosomes.

What process produces two genetically distinct haploid cells?
Meiosis is the process that produces two genetically distinct haploid cells. It involves two rounds of cell division, meiosis I and meiosis II, starting from a diploid cell. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, leading to genetic recombination through crossing over, while meiosis II separates sister chromatids. The end result is four haploid cells, each genetically unique, but the question specifically refers to the initial separation in meiosis I, where two distinct haploid cells are formed.
How many genetically distinct gametes are produced if crossing over does not take place during meiosis?
If crossing over does not occur during meiosis, two genetically distinct gametes are produced.
When does meiosis produce?
Meiosis produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.
How many genetically distinct gametes are produced after crossing over during meiosis?
During crossing over in meiosis, four genetically distinct gametes are produced.
What is the difference between meiosis two and meiosis one?
Meiosis I and Meiosis II are two distinct stages of the meiotic process, which leads to the formation of gametes. Meiosis I is a reduction division where homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells, each with half the number of chromosomes but still consisting of sister chromatids. In contrast, Meiosis II resembles a typical mitotic division, where the sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated, leading to four genetically diverse haploid cells. Overall, Meiosis I reduces chromosome number, while Meiosis II separates chromatids.
How many new cells do you have after meiosis in an organism?
Meiosis produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.
How many genetically distinct gametes are produced in the absence of crossing over during meiosis?
In the absence of crossing over during meiosis, four genetically distinct gametes are produced.
How many cells are produce in meiosis?
Four non-identical daughter cells are produced in meiosis.

What are the names of the two different types of meiosis?
The two types of meiosis are meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I involves homologous chromosomes separating, while meiosis II involves sister chromatids separating.
