Question

How can a haploid cell undergo mitosis?

Answer 1

When DNA is replicated and divided into two daughter cells then in the cell mitosis occurs and it occurs in four types of stages that is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The longest phase of mitosis is the prophase and the cytokinesis of the cell is done by telophase.

Complete answer:
1)Mitosis can occur in a haploid cell that is the equational division of the cell and the number of chromosomes present in the parent cell will remain the same in this division.

2)Haploid cells are present in plants and to produce gametophyte haploid cells divide mitotically and the division undergoes different stages of mitosis.

3)There are some fungi and plants that are composed of the haploid cell body and among the stages, prophase includes the condensation of chromatin and nuclear membrane disappears.

4)In the stage of metaphase, the alignment of chromosomes occurs to the equatorial plate and in the stage of anaphase, the separation of chromosomes to the end of poles of the cell takes place.

5)In the stage of telophase, cells start dividing and the nuclear membrane reappears and the end of mitosis is declared by the formation of two daughter cells.

Note: In an individual, for the growth, the mitosis of the cell is necessary as it helps in the development of the cell that is identical to each other and for the regeneration and growth of the body such identical cells are required and for the growing plants also use mitosis.
