Best Answer

First off, your query should be "Do mitosis and meiosis produce diploid cells?" The answer is that mitosis produces diploid cells, since mitosis is used to replace body cells, but meiosis produces haploid cells, since meiosis is used to produce sex cells. The sex cells are haploid because a sex cell eventually combines with another sex cell to create a new organism.
