The purpose of meiosis is to reproduce the normal diploid cells to haploid cells and to make egg and sperm. It produces male and female sex cells. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell. These daughter cells only contain half of the DNA that the cell originally had before division. After meiosis occurs, the four haploid cells have a random mixture of both maternal and paternal DNA.
