Final answer:

In telophase II and cytokinesis, four unique haploid cells are produced. The cells are genetically unique due to random assortment and recombination.

Step-by-step explanation:

In telophase II and cytokinesis, the chromosomes arrive at opposite poles, nuclear envelopes form around the chromosomes, and cytokinesis separates the two cells into four unique haploid cells.

At this point, the newly formed nuclei are haploid, meaning they have only one set of chromosomes.

The cells produced are genetically unique due to the random assortment of paternal and maternal homologs and the recombination of maternal and paternal segments of chromosomes that occur during crossover.
