Haploid cells cannot undergo meiosis

One of the vital steps in meiosis is where the pairs of homologous chromosomes come together and then separate into different cells (resulting in cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell).
As a haploid cell does not have homologous pairs of chromosomes, meiosis cannot occur.

Haploid cells cannot undergo meiosis.
Meiosis separates homologous chromosomes from each other. Haploid cells do not have homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are the pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits.
