Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in cells and this division results in a reduction in the number of parent cells by half.
A parent cell with 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromosomes) undergoing meiosis will result in the production of 4 cells each with 23 single chromosomes.
In meiosis, a beginning cell with 23 pairs of chromosomes (after duplication) will go through the first division separating all homologous chromosomes and giving rise to two cells with 23 chromosomes each with its own two sister chromatids.
During the second division, each of the two daughter cells produced divides and the chromosomes separate at the centromeres, with each chromatid moving to opposite pole, so four daughter cells is produced and contains 23 single chromatids/chromosomes.
