Following meiosis I, the daughter cells enter meiosis II without passing through  Cloze (1): JXUwMDMxJXUwMDA3JXUwMDFhJXUwMDExJXUwMDE3JXUwMDAyJXUwMDE4JXUwMDA5JXUwMDEyJXUw MDE2  or replicating their DNA. Meiosis II resembles a mitotic division, except that the chromosome number has been reduced by half. Thus, the products of meiosis II are four  Cloze (2): JXUwMDMwJXUwMDA5JXUwMDExJXUwMDFjJXUwMDAzJXUwMDA2JXUwMDBk  cells that contain a single copy of each chromosome.

In mammals, the number of viable gametes obtained from Cloze (3): JXUwMDM1JXUwMDA4JXUwMDBjJXUwMDA2JXUwMDFjJXUwMDFhJXUwMDFh differs between males and females. In males, four haploid spermatids of similar size are produced from each spermatogonium.
