Question

Can a haploid cell undergo meiosis?

Answer 1

Haploid cell:

1. A haploid cell has n number of chromosomes.
2. Haploid cells are produced by the process of meiotic division.
3. Meiosis is the cell division process in which a diploid cell (2n) produces two haploids (n) cells. So, the haploid cell cannot undergo further division. ‘n’ means the chromosome number.
4. So, a haploid cell cannot undergo meiosis as the chromosome number gets half in meiosis.
