Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells. Mitosis produces 2 diploid cells.

Answer:

12 cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is the process of cell division in which the parent cell divides into the daughter haploid cells. The meiosis is reduction division as chromosome number reduces to half in daughter cells.

A single divides to produce four haploid daughter cell. 1 cell produce 4 cells. Three cells that undergoes the process of meiosis results in the formation of 12 haploid daughter cells. ( 3 × 4 = 12 cells).

Thus, the answer is haploid cells.
