No. Reason one is that they contain half of the total number of the original cell. They are said to be haploid.
Reason 2 is that during prophase I a process called crossing over occurs. This allows parts of homologous chromosomes to swap out with each other. So when the gametes are formed you have chromosomes that do not really exist in the original cell.
Reason 3. Nondisjunction of chromatid pairs during Anaphase I and II. Here you could have cells with 1 more or 1 less chromosome than the other gametes.

No, the cells formed by meiosis can have different combinations of alleles because they only have half the number of chromosomes as a parent cell.

no. the daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parents cells
