Is the parent cell diploid a characteristic of meiosis not mitosis?

Mitosis starts with a diploid parent cell and ends with two diploid daughter cells.
Meiosis starts with a diploid parent cell and ends with haploid daugther cells. The number of cells produced depends on the type of gamete being generated.

Are mitosis parent cells diploid or haploid?
Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells.
Does mitosis results in four haploid gametes?
No - mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells.Meiosis creates four haploid cells.
Does mitosis begin with haploid cell or diploid cell?
yea mitosis do begins with a haploid as well as doploid cell also..nd if the parent cell is haploid so the two daughter cells that are identical to each other will be haploid and if the parent cell is diploid so the daughter cells will be diploid.
How does the genetic make up of cells that results from mitosis differ from the parent cell?
Mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two genetically identical, diploid daughter cells. Meiosis followed by cytokinesis results in four genetically non-identical, haploid daughter cells.
How are meiosis and mitosis different?
Meiosis produces haploid cells and mitosis produces diploid cells (apex)
Are mitosis parent cells diploid or haploid?

How do genetic contents of cells resulting from mitosis different from meiosis?
The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.
Does mitosis begin with haploid cell or diploid cell?
yea mitosis do begins with a haploid as well as doploid cell also..nd if the parent cell is haploid so the two daughter cells that are identical to each other will be haploid and if the parent cell is diploid so the daughter cells will be diploid.
How many cells are pproduced from one parents cell?
In a typical somatic cell, mitosis produces one diploid "daughter" cell from one diploid parent cell. In a gametic cell, meiosis produces 4 haploid "daughter" cells from one diploid parent cell.
What is the difference of a cell that is formed from mitosis and a cell that is formed from meiosis?
Cells formed from mitosis are diploid and are identical (if no mutations occurred during DNA replication) to the parent cell. Cells formed during meiosis are haploid and are different than the parent cell (due to the process of crossing over). Note that mitosis produced only 2 daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four.

How does the daughter cells produced from meiosis differ from those produced by mitosis?
What I remember from school was that meiosis split into 4 cells and that mitosis split into two cells and I think that meiosis happened when cells were trying to repair something and mitosis was for reproduction. (Remember miTosis=Two)
Is meiosis haploid or diploid?
The parent cell is diploid. The daughter cells are haploid.
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.
Is the end product of mitosis haploid or diploid?
Mitosis produces DIPLOID cells- remember in mitosis your INCREASING the number of CELLS but the chromosome number is the SAME as the parentso 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 mitosisThe 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.
