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.

How does the number of chromosomes in a diploid compare to the number of chromosomes in a haploid?
The diploid number is "2n" and the haploid number is "n". Humans have 46 chromosomes, which are equal to the diploid number. half of these chromosomes are the haploid number, which is = 23.
Are people diploid?
no humans are haploid because when two haploid cells combine a diploid cell is made.
What the difference between the diploid and haploid?
Diploid and Haploid differs in count in humans. There are 23 chromosomes in a Haploid cell while diploid has 46 chromosomes.
What is a haploid cell in comparison to a diploid cell?
in humans, the haploid cells contain 23 chromosomes whereas the diploid cells contain 46
The process in which a parent cell divides twice to produce sex cells is called?
mieosis or mitosis

Why do humans not go through alternation of generations?
Human beings do exhibit an alternation of generations, but the haploid phase is extremely deemphasized while the diploid phase is overwhelmingly dominant. The haploid phase in humans that results from meiosis is restricted to only one cell, either an egg in the female or a sperm in the male. There is never a multicellular haploid structure as there usually are in plants. If such a multicellular haploid structure is required for a true alternation of generations, then humans do not exhibit alternation of generations. The human organism grows by mitosis (the diploid phase) only after fertilization. A plant sporophyte is diploid and it produces spores by meiosis. Humans, like plant sporophytes, are diploid and make haploid gametes by meiosis.

no humans are haploid because when two haploid cells combine a diploid cell is made.
What is the number of chromosomes in the starting cell in meiosis?
1 diploid cell-->2 diploid cells-->4 haploid cells.
Which process results in daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell?
Meiosis produces daughter cells with the haploid number of chromosomes. The haploid number is one complete set of chromosomes, such as the egg and sperm contain.
What the difference between the diploid and haploid?
Diploid and Haploid differs in count in humans. There are 23 chromosomes in a Haploid cell while diploid has 46 chromosomes.
Is sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
What is a haploid cell in comparison to a diploid cell?
in humans, the haploid cells contain 23 chromosomes whereas the diploid cells contain 46
The process in which a parent cell divides twice to produce sex cells is called?
mieosis or mitosis
When do humans need meiosis?
Meiosis produce haploid cells.So meiosis is used to produce sperms and ova.
What one is diploid and which one is haploid?
Diploid is an organism/cell having normally two copies of each DNA molecule (i.e. chromosome). Haploid is the one having one copy. Therefore, humans are diploid organisms but bacteria are haploid
What kind of cells are formed in meiosis?
Meiosis takes place in diploid cells. These are cells which have pairs of chromosomes. For example, in humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the body cells. During meiosis the number of chromosomes is halved, so that haploidcells are produced. These are cells with only one chromosome from each pair. So in humans haploid cells contain 23 singlechromosomes. The haploid cells produced in humans (and other animals) are the sex cells or gametes. These are the sperm cell in males and the egg cell in females. When fertilization takes place the gametes fuse and the diploid number of chromosomes is restored. So the simple answer to your question is egg cells and sperm cells (in humans and other animals). For details of meiosis see http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/M/Meiosis.html However in plants the situation is slightly different. Here meiosis produces haploid spores which germinate to produce a haploid sporophyte. The sporophyte produces gametes by mitosis.
