what type of cell can undergo meiosis?
haploid cells
both haploid and diploi cells
diploid cells
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of gametes (sex cells). Haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes. If haploid cells were to undergo meiosis, the chromosome number would be further reduced, which is not a normal biological process. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes. In organisms, diploid germ - line cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes. For example, in humans, diploid cells in the testes (spermatogonia) and ovaries (oogonia) undergo meiosis to form sperm and eggs respectively. So only diploid cells normally undergo meiosis in most organisms.
