Mitosis produces DIPLOID cells
- remember in mitosis your INCREASING the number of CELLS but the chromosome number is the SAME as the parent
so a parent that has a (DIPLOID number of 10)
will produce at the end of mitosis will produce 2 children with a diploid number of (10)
That is why Mitosis is CONSERVATIVE.
So in actuality, 1 diploid cell will produce 2 diploid cells in mitosis
The above is only true if the starting cell is itself diploid. However there are plenty of instances, especially in plants, in which cells that are haploid (the ones that give rise to pollen and egg, and endosperm nuclei, for example) or multiploid (hexaploid wheat, for example) undergo mitosis, and the cells that are produced have the same ploidy as the starting cell. Always. As noted above, mitosis is conservative. However, you ought not assume that you started with a diploid cell.

Are cells diploid or haploid at the end of cell division?
They are haploid. As meosis produces sex cells (sperm and eggs) they must have half the genetic material, so when fertilisation occurs the gamete formed has one full set of chromosomes, it is diploid.
What is it meant by haploid and diploid number of chromosomes?
Haploid and diploid are terms which refer to the number of copies of a chromosome that are found in the genome of an organism. In humans, for example, there are two copies of each (of our 23) chromosomes. Thus, we are diploid. If there is only one copy of a chromosome, this is called haploid. Human sex cells as well as most plant sex cells (sperm/ pollen, ovum/ oval) are haploid. This is how you end up with a complement of chromosomes that is half your father's, half your mother's. Two haploid cells come together to form a diploid cell, and this cell eventually becomes a person. Diploid is a full set of chromosomes inherited from both parents. In humans this would be 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs in, mostly, somatic cells. Haploid is half this number of chromosomes and is the result of meiosis, where as diploid is the result of normal cellular mitosis (as well as the result of fertilization). In genetic notation haploid is depicted with "n" and diploid "2n"
Meiosis in the male mammals result in the formation of?
The primary spermatocyte is diploid(2n) and after first meiotic division it will produce 2 haploid(n) secondary spermatocyte and these in turn after second meiotic division will produce 2 more haploid secondary spermatocyte. Therefore by the end of Meiosis one will have 4 haploid secondary spermatocyte or spermatids.
Chromosome number that results from meiosis is called?
Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from two (diploid), to one (haploid). In mitosis the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell, but meiosis produces cells that differ genetically from the parent cell as well as each other. In the final stage of meiosis II there end up being 4n daughter cells. So remember mitosis is diploid and meiosis is haploid.
How many cells are formed at the end of mitosis?
Mitosis is the cell cycle phase wherein the cell nucleus chromosomes are separated. After mitosis, two identical cells will be created.
Dose meiosis produce diploid or haploid cells?
its haploid= 4 cellsBy the end of meiosis all four resulting daughter cells are haploid.
Are daughter calls produced by meiosis haploid?
Haploid... i think but most likely At the end of Mitosis you are left with two identical diploid cells, but at the end of Meiosis there are four haploid cells.
Are cells diploid or haploid at the end of cell division?
They are haploid. As meosis produces sex cells (sperm and eggs) they must have half the genetic material, so when fertilisation occurs the gamete formed has one full set of chromosomes, it is diploid.
Is cell produced after mitosis a haploid cell?
YES IN MIEOSIS DIPLOID CELL CHANGES TO HAPLOID CELL. THIS IS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE WHEN MALE AND FEMALE GAMETES FUSE DURING FERTILISATION NORMAL DIPLOID NUMBER OF CHRORMOSOMES IS REACQUIRED. ^question wasnt about meiosis... The real answer is that the cell is diploid at the beginning and end of mitosis.
How does a haplontic animal grow?
Zygotic meiosis is the reproductive cycle of the haplontic life cycle. Gametes from adult haploid individuals unite forming the diploid zygote. The zygote undergoes meiosis and generates four haploid cells that by mitosis develop into adult individuals. Therefore in the zygotic meiosis the cell that undergoes meiosis is the zygote and the gametes are formed by mitosis. TDLR: Effectively, two Haploid cells combine to form a diploid cell which then undergoes meiosis, except the result; gametes are the end product.

Can meiosis occur in haploid cell?
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.)
Are the cells diploid or haploid at the end of meiosis?
At the end of Meiosis II, which is the complete end of Meiosis, you end up with four haploid daughter cells.
What is defference between telophase of meosis and telophase of mitosis cell division?
telophase of mitosis contain 1 new diploid cell at the end while telophase of meiosis contain 4 new haploid cells at the period of division.
What kind of cells are produced at the end end of Mitosis?
At the end of mitosis the cell is called a Diploid cell. it has all the genetic information.
Do diploid cells undergo in mitosis?
In fact diploid cells are divided by meiosis. The process of meiosis is to divide a diploid cell into four haploid cells to produce gametes. In the second stage of meiosis it divides the two cell into to equal parts without duplicating the new genetic material. If you did this with a haploid cell, you would end up with a 1/4 of the original number of chromosomes. For example if a human haploid chromosome divided it would only have 11.5 chromosomes.
What is produced from diploid germ cells by meiosis?
4 Haploid gametes. In Meiosis, germ cells first undergo a mitosis like division which produces 2 diploid germ cells. After that division, they undergo a second division in Meiosis 2, without first replicating their chromosomes. The end result is 4 haploid gametes.
