Yes, mitosis can occur in a cell of any ploidy. There will only be two daughter cells at the end of mitosis and both cells will have the same ploidy as the parent cell. (e.g. A diploid cell will go through mitosis producing 2 diploid daughter cells. A haploid cell will produce 2 haploid daughter cells at the end of mitosis.)

Yes, Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells from one diploid cell. These 4 haploid cells are called sex cells or gametes, which have half the number of chromosomes as any other normal cell. This is because when reproduction occurs, 2 haploid cells, one from the mother and one from the father join together, forming diploid cells once more and then Mitosis takes over, slowly creating the new organism

no.. meoisis cannot occur in haploid cells because a haploid cells does not have homologues chromosomes.(meiosis invloves synapsis of homologues chromosomes).

Yes. For haplontic organisms such as most fungi, the haploid cells perform mitosis to grow.
