Answer:

1.They contain half the genetic material of their mother cells, and they become gametes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is the process through which gametes (in humans, sperm cells and egg cells) are created.

Before meiosis, the DNA is replicated in the diploid parental cell. Then, the parental cell undergoes 2 cell divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.

After meiosis I, the cells are diploid (contain the same amount of genetic material as the parent cell. They divide again during meiosis II, to produce a total of four cells containing half the amount of DNA as the mother cells.

These cells go on to become gametes.
