Meiosis can only occur in diploid cells, resulting in four haploid daughter cells. This contrasts to mitosis which can occur in both haploid and diploid cells, producing only two daughter cells. Meiosis undergoes one round of replication but cytokinesis occurs twice, resulting in half the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. There are two stages of Meiosis, Meiosis I and II.
