Meiosis is a cell reproduction method. It can generate up to 4 daughter cells.
It is basically a cell splitting into two. And then these two splitting into two again.

You must not forget that each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent.

Hope it helped!

Meiosis is the exchange of genetic material between cells. Throughout meiosis Eukaryotes split their genetic material to form more alike cells.
