Why is the daughter cell of meiosis I considered to be a haploid rather than a diploid? Like, how are haploid and diploid defined in terms of the MCAT?
And since the haploid daughter cell of meiosis I looks like X and the diploid cell in mitosis also looks like X , then does that mean when we are presented with a diagram that looks like X on the MCAT, we cannot tell if it is 2N or N without first knowing if the cell is going through mitosis or meiosis, correct?
And in terms of the MCAT, do human cells ever have 4N in it's life cycle?
