If a yeast cell undergoes one mitotic division, it will produce two daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells will then undergo one meiotic division, resulting in the production of four haploid cells (gametes) each, for a total of eight haploid cells.

Therefore, starting with one yeast cell, the final number of yeast cells produced after one mitotic division and each daughter cell undergoing one meiotic division would be eight.
