Answer:

Four haploid daughter cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis the process that results in gametes. When a human produces gametes (sex cells: eggs and sperm), the cells undergo meiosis to form two cells with 23 chromosomes each (half of the 46 chromosome full set, diploid). This is called "haploid" (half the set). There are two divisions that happen in meiosis: starting from one cell into two, and then another one that divides each of the two cells again to end up with a total of four daughter cells.

Hope this helps!
