Question

1. what are haploid cells? what type of cell division produces haploid cells? a cell with a single set of chromosomes is called a haploid cell.

Explanation:

Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces haploid cells. In meiosis, a diploid cell (with two sets of chromosomes) undergoes two rounds of division (meiosis I and meiosis II) to form four haploid cells. This process is crucial for sexual reproduction as it reduces the chromosome number by half, so that when two haploid gametes (sperm and egg) fuse during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid number of chromosomes for the species.

Answer:

Haploid cells are cells with a single set of chromosomes. Meiosis is the cell - division type that produces haploid cells.
