Answer:

half as much and genetically different from the original

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is a form of reproduction that occurs in the gametes resulting in formation of four daughter cells in two subsequent phases that are haploid( half). Meiosis is said to be a reduction cell division as it halves the number of chromosomes.

In meiosis II, the daughter cells finish up with one member of each type of chromosome or half the total number of chromosomes present in the parent cell.
