The end result of meiosis I is the formation of two haploid and nonidentical daughter cells, but the chromatids are still attached, so they may appear diploid.

Meiosis I is a reduction division process in which a diploid cell divides into two haploid cells. During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over, which increases genetic diversity. As the cell progresses through meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell.
Mitosis and Miosis
Miosis and mitosis
Miosis is a process of cell division that produces reproductive cells with half the number of chromosomes, whereas mitosis is a process of cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Miosis is involved in sexual reproduction, whereas mitosis is involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
Meiosis, not miosis, makes four haploid sex cells.
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.
