The correct answer is: the mother cell is diploid, but the products of the first division are haploid.
Meiosis is cell division with the purpose to produce the gametes: sperm and eggs. Meiosis is a two-step division process:
• meiosis I- Homologues pairs (chromosome pairs an organism receives from parents, one from mother, one from father) separate during this phase
• meiosis II – Separation of sister chromatids.
