Here's the breakdown of parent and daughter cells in meiosis:

* Parent Cells: You start with one parent cell.

* Daughter Cells: Meiosis results in four daughter cells.

Important Note: These daughter cells are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. This is crucial for sexual reproduction because when a sperm and egg (both haploid) fuse, they create a diploid zygote with a full set of chromosomes.
