What is the biological meaning of the uneven division of the cytoplasm and the death of one of the daughter cells at each stage of meiosis during the formation of an egg?

The main difference between the sex cell (in this case, the female – the egg) from the usual, somatic one is the haploid (in other words, half) set of chromosomes. Taking into account the fact that germ cells are formed from somatic cells, it becomes necessary to reduce the diploid set of chromosomes by half. Accordingly, for this to happen, half of the chromosomes must go to another cell, which will die, and the surviving one, in addition to half of the chromosomes, will also get the cytoplasm with a supply of nutrients.
