Question

Which definition correctly describes a haploid cell during meiosis?

Answer 1

A haploid cell is a cell that has a one complete set of chromosomes

A haploid cell is a cell that has a single set number of chromosomes,it has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Further Explanation:

Cell division

Cell division is the process in which cells undergo division to form other new cells.

There are two types of cell division, namely; mitosis and meiosis

Mitosis Division  

• Mitosis is a type of division in which a parent cell undergoes division to yield two daughter cells that are similar to the parent cells.  
• The daughter cells have equal number of chromosomes as the parent and are identical to the parent.
• This type of cell division normally occurs in somatic cells of organisms and facilitates growth and development of organisms.
• The cells formed by mitotic division are diploid meaning they have two sets of chromosomes and that they have equal number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Meiosis division

• Meiosis division is a type of division that occurs in gamete cells where a parent cell divides into four daughter cells that differ from the parent cells in terms of the number of chromosomes.
• In meiosis the daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells.
• Meiosis occurs in the gamete cells and facilitates sexual reproduction in living organisms.
• The cells formed by meiotic division are haploid since they have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell and also they have a single set of chromosome.

Answer 2

A haploid cell during meiosis means that a cell has half the number of chromosomes as the daughter cell however, when gametic fertilization happens the parent cell will then be re-established. Meiosis is another type or way of cell division wherein one homologous chromosome is segregated into another and new gamete. There are actually two successive nuclear division that is bound to happen in each haploid cell, that is Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis was then known as reduction or cell division.
