question 12
can cells that are haploid (single set of chromosomes) undergo meiosis?
no, haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes that cannot be reduced.
no, haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes that can be multiplied.
yes, haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes that can be transferred.
yes, haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes that can be altered.
Meiosis is a process that reduces the chromosome number by half. Haploid cells already have a single set of chromosomes. Since there is no further reduction possible (as half of one set is not a functional chromosomal state in normal meiosis - related cell - division context for most organisms), haploid cells cannot undergo meiosis.
