Best Answer

Mitosis stays diploid throughout. The first part of Meiosis- Meiosis I- is diploid, but after Telophase 1 it becomes haploid throughout Meiosis II.

What type of cell division produces diploid cells?

Meiosis produces haploid cells from a diploid cell


Which cells are known NOT to do mitosis?

gametic (sperm or egg) cells do not carry out mitosis, instead they carry out meiosis. Mitosis gives a diploid number of chromosomes to each cell, meiosis gives a haploid number.


Is meiosis is associated with haploid number of chromosomes?

Yes, the process of meiosis results in four daughter cells with a haploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, mitosis results in two daughter cells with a diploid number of chromosomes.


What body system produces diploid and haploid cell by meiosis in humans?

For this Q'n the A. is that 'no such' system exists. Meiosis produces haploid gametes in all Eukaryotic Cells. For an application of diploid chromosomes see Mitosis.


Explaining why the process of mitosis and meiosis are both?

mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.


What is the end result difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis = doubling of chromosomes. Meiosis = halving of chromosomes.


Do diploid have chromosomes?

Yes, diploid cells do have chromosomes. These cells are created during mitosis.


What are the process of chromosomes?

mitosis


Is it true Mitosis results in 4 diploid daughter cells?

Meiosis produces four haploid cells. Mitosis produces two diploid cells.


What process of cell division creates diploid cells and what process creates haploid cells?

Mitosis makes diploid cells or stomatic cells which are cells with 2 haploid sets of chromosomes. These are your normal body cells. every cell in you body besides the gametes are diploid and have 46 chromosomes. Meiosis makes haploid cells which only have 23 chromosomes or one set of chromosomes. Haploid cells are your gametes or reproductive cells and meiosis only happens in your gonads or reproductive organ.


What cell begins meiosis and mitosis?

The process of meiosis always begins with diploid cells. The chromosomes in the cells divide, so the result is four haploid cells.


What Type Of Cell Is Produced By Mitosis haploid or diploid?

Mitosis produces diploid cells with 46 chromosomes.
