Haploid and Diploid refer to the fraction of genetic information a cell contains. Almost all the cells in the human body are diploid (2n) because they contain all of the genetic information of the individual of which they are a part. Gametes (sperm and ova), however, are haploid (1n) because they only contain one half of the total genetic information of the cell they were spawned from. This is why a sperm (1n) and an ova (1n) must fuse to create a new individual (2n). Some simple organisms (such as some yeasts) can exist as 1n or 2n depending on what part of their life cycle they are on. So a diploid cell can undergo a process (called meiosis) to make four haploid daughter cells (it is four haploid cells and not two haploid cells because each adult cell will have two copies of the chromosome from the mother and the father before division).
Daughter cells are typically diploid after cell division.
Four haploid daughter cells are formed during the process of meiosis, specifically during meiosis II, after the division of the haploid cells produced in meiosis I. Each of these daughter cells contains half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
haploid and the chromosomes are composed of two chromatids
The outcome of meiosis in a cell is the formation of four haploid daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division and genetic recombination, resulting in genetic variation among the daughter cells.
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.
The parent cell is diploid. The daughter cells are haploid.

The product of a single cell that has gone through meiosis is four haploid daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. These daughter cells are genetically unique due to the crossing over and independent assortment that occurs during meiosis.
Mitosis. The daughters are Haploid cells.
4 haploid daughter cells, known as gametes.
It depends on the process. Daughter cells created by mitosis are identical to the original cell (diploid), whereas daughter cells from meiosis are haploid.
If you are asking about cellular meiosis, one diploid parent cell will ultimately form four haploid daughter cells. The parent cell replicates all of its DNA, splits into two intermediate daughter cells that are diploid, and each of these intermediate daughter cells splits to form two more daughter cells. The end result is four haploid cells.
No, a haploid cell is produced in meiosis 1. Meiosis 2 involves separating sister chromatids to produce four haploid daughter cells.
