Question

what does haploid and diploid have to do with meosis?

Answer 1

\(\bf\Huge Welcome~to~\color{skyblue}{Open}\color{yellowgreen}{Study}~!!!\)

Haploid cells have only 1 copy of each chromosomes
Diploid cells have two homologous copies of each chromosome.

Look at the image of meiosis. As you see it ends with 4 haploid daughter cells.

Answer 2

Cycling meiosis and fertilization events produces a series of transitions back and forth between alternating haploid and diploid states. The organism phase of the life cycle can occur either during the diploid state (gametic or diploid life cycle), during the haploid state (zygotic or haploid life cycle), or both (sporic or haploid diploid life cycle, in which there are two distinct organism phases, one during the haploid state and the other during the diploid state).
