The daughter cells in meiosis have half the number of sets of chromosomes compared to the parent cell. This means that in humans, the daughter cells would have 23 pairs of chromosomes instead of the 46 pairs in the parent cell.
After mitosis, each daughter cell will have the same number of autosomes as the original parent cell, which is typically 22 pairs. This means each daughter cell will have the same number of autosomes as the parent cell, maintaining genomic stability.
In animal cells (meiosis) the parent (which is a diploid cell with homologous pairs of chromosomes) seperates into two daughter cells containing the replicated pairs of sister chromatids. The process of meiosis is begun again (meiosis II) from which the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes. Then, the two diploid cells separate into 4 haploid daughter cells containing 1 chromosome. This is a generalized answer without the steps of meiosis described.
Mitosis always yields the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In humans, 23.

Its false... :P
There are 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes in each daughter cell after mitosis. Each daughter cells need 46 or 23 pairs of chromosomes to work properly and survive.
The parent cell will be diploid and contain paired chromosomes. The haploid cell will contain only one copy of each chromosome. In humans for example there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In a somatic cell, which is diploid, the 23 pairs are present. In a gamete (sperm or egg cell), which is haploid there are only 23 chromosomes - unpaired. This is so that when the sperm and egg meet at fertilisation there are 46 chromosomes - 23 pairs - the correct number for the organism.

The four chromosomes in a parent cell are arranged in two sets of pairs - one set from the mother and one set from the father. Each pair of chromosomes consists of one chromosome from each parent.
