Answer:

For [a] .....Yes

For [b]......No

Explanation:

Meiosis is known to be a process of reducing the number of chromosomes in a diploid to half.

And it should be noted that , meiosis requires the pairing of two chromosomes sets.

Therefore in this case, before meiosis can occur in the haploid, it must involves two haploids. This means that two individual haploid will fuse together to form diploid meiocyte, which will allow meiosis to occur.

This is the reason why meiosis can only takes place on haploid species.

In summary, it should be noted that, meiosis can only takes place in a diploid and two individuals haploid [ haploid species] that can fuse together to form diploid, but not in a haploid individual.
