Explanation:

Meiosis creates gamete "daughter cells" that have half the chromosomes as a normal cell that would be created during mitosis, which is the division and reproduction of identical cells from the parent. In humans, a regular 46 chromosome cell divides through meiosis to create gametes with 23 chromosomes.
