At the end of meiosis I, two daughter cells are created from one original cell.

Quick Scoop

  • Meiosis happens in two rounds: meiosis I and meiosis II.
  • Meiosis I is the “reductional” division, where homologous chromosome pairs separate into different cells.
  • When meiosis I finishes (after telophase I and cytokinesis), the result is exactly 2 daughter cells , each with half the original chromosome number but with chromosomes still made of sister chromatids.

So if you start with one cell entering meiosis I, you end that stage with two daughter cells , which will then each go into meiosis II to eventually produce four haploid cells in total.

TL;DR: At the end of meiosis I, 2 daughter cells are formed.
