Meiosis is the process by which gametes or sex cells (ie sperm and ova) are made. Gametes have only one copy of each chromosome (haploid) where as the progenitor cells have two copies (diploid).

Regular cell division results in daughter cells which have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells. Gametes, however, are haploid, that is, contain half the normal complement of chromosomes. They are produced by the process of cell divsion known as meiosis, or "reduction divsion".

How many cells are produced during mitosis?

During mitosis 2 diploid cells are produced diploid means they have the full complement of DNA these cells make up nearly all the cells in the body with the exception of the gonads. During meiosis 4 haploid cells are produced meaning they have half the complement of DNA these haploid cells are in gonads of animals.
