The original cell that undergoes meiosis holds the original copy of DNA. The daughter cells receive the replicated DNA strands.
DNA doubles and cells undergo TWO ROUNDS OF DIVISION in meiosis the four daughter cells have half the amount of DNA as the parent.
The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.
Asexual reproduction.The process is call mitosis.
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.

Parent cells are diploids, and daughter cells are haploids. Therefore, the daughter cells have half of the the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. (chromosomes are DNA)

Homologous chromosomes assort independently, so each gamete has a unique combination of alleles
NovaNet/GradPoint answer: four haploid daughter cellsMeiosis 2 creates a total of 4 haploid daughter cells from an original 2 daughter cells (created during meiosis 1). Each daughter cell has a completely different set of DNA than the 2 daughter cells created in meiosis 1, as well as the original parent cells.

The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.
Meiosis produces sex cells called sperm cells or egg cells.

It can be concluded that Mitosis and Meiosis have similarities and differences. However,both Mitosis and Meiosis are both types of cell division and each begin with a duplicate set of chromosomes.
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
Meiosis produces cells with half of the DNA of a normal cell so that when two cells that have gone through meiosis (like sperm and egg) are joined, the cell formed has the normal amount of DNA. If meiosis didn't happen each new organism would have twice as much DNA as it's parents.
