Question: are cells diploid after meiosis 1?
Answer: Meiosis I occurs in diploid cells , to produce two daughter cells that are haploid in nature. ... Meiosis II is similar to mitosis, it occurs in haploid cells produced by meiosis I. Hence, meiosis I can not be termed as being diploid or haploid, because it is a process operating on diploid cells to produce haploid cells.
