which type of cell division results in haploid cells
Cell Division and Growth. Haploid cells are a result of the process of meiosis, a type of reductional cell division in which diploid cells divide to give rise to haploid germ cells or spores. During meiosis, a diploid germ cell divides to give rise to four haploid cells in two rounds of cell division. This process does not occur in organisms (example bacteria) that reproduce via asexual processes like binary fission. Haploid cells being produced via the process of meiosis.
Meiosis is the process of cell division that will create four haploid cells from one diploid. This process is used for sexual reproduction, since the haploid cells will become sexual gametes. Key Terms: Daughter cell - A cell which results from division of another cell (a mother cell), either in meiosis or mitosis. Diploid - A cell with two copies (and only two) of each of its chromosomes.
