Is meiosis is associated with haploid number of chromosomes?

Meiosis is associated with a reduction in the number of chromosomes from diploid to haploid. During meiosis, the chromosomes undergo two rounds of division, resulting in the formation of four haploid cells. Each haploid cell contains half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This reduction in chromosome number is essential for sexual reproduction, as it allows for the mixing of genetic material from two parents to produce offspring with unique combinations of genes.
