Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A diploid cell becomes haploid during Meiosis I and is completed after Telephase I. These homologous chromosomes (from mom & dad, all duplicated) pair up during prophase I forming tetrads. The pairs of homologs line up on the metaphase plate during metaphase I

At what stage of meiosis are cells haploid?

Prophase II: Starting cells are the haploid cells made in meiosis I. Chromosomes condense. Metaphase II: Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate. Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate to opposite ends of the cell. Telophase II: Newly forming gametes are haploid, and each chromosome now has just one chromatid
