Meiosis results in a change in chromosome number indicated by

Diploid, meaning two copies of each chromosome.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. The process results in four daughter cells that contain half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. It begins with a parent cell that is diploid, meaning it has two copies of each chromosome. During reproduction, when the sperm and egg unite to form a single cell, the number of chromosomes is restored in the offspring.
