Gametes!
The daughter cells that result from mitotic cell division are genetically identical. The daughter cells that result from meiotic cell division are genetically unique.
Meiosis makes each new cell genetically unique in terms of DNA. This ensures that the offspring of the organism is also genetically unique as the two gametes (sex cells) combine together to give the cell a full set of chromosomes that the cell needs to divide/multiply into a new life.
The product of meiosis are sex cells or gametes 1N, Eggs, Sperm and pollen. Because of meiosis, and crossing over, these cells are genetically unique. Consequently, the union of these sex cells (egg and sperm) form new and different combinations and therefore allow for variation and change within a species.

Mieosis is a cell division which produces gametes.

After meiosis II there will be four cells, each with its own genetically unique haploid nucleus. In females, only one of the four cells becomes a gamete (ovum). The ovum receives the majority of cytoplasm during cytokinesis, and is much larger than the other cells. In males, all four cells will become gametes (sperm cells).

No
Because body cells need to make genetically identical daughter cells and sex cells need to make genetically unique cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell.

Through meiosis, four haploid cells/gametes are made. Haploid cells/gametes are sperm and eggs. In humans, they each have 23 chromosomes so that when they unite, a zygote is formed. Also know that the cells after that are known as diploids because they have 46 chromosomes in each cell.
chromosomes
No - mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells.Meiosis creates four haploid cells.
