Cytokinesis divides the two cells into four daughter cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell is divided into four daughter cells. These daughter cells are haploid i. e. half number of chromosomes. This type of cell division occurs only in sex cells of male and female organisms. There are two phases of meiosis. In meiosis 1, a single cell is divided into two daughter cells while in meiosis 2, these two daughter cells again divided into four daughter cells.
