Question

What problem would most likely to occur if a haploid cell attempted to perform meiosis? the cell could not replicate its dna prior to meiosis. the cell could not pair homologous chromosomes during meiosis i. the cell would produce diploid daughter cells?

Answer 1

The answer is; the cell could not pair homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

For meiosis to occur, the sister chromosomes pairs line up in the metaphase-plate so that each chromosome of the pair is pulled to the opposite pole by the spindle in anaphase. Therefore, meiosis can only occur in cells with normal ploidy so the ploidy halved by meiosis.
