Daughter cells of (diploid) primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes are haploid. In other cases division is equational, that is a diploid cell will give rise to diploid daughter cells and a haploid cell like secondary spermatocyte and secondary oocyte will give rise to haploid daughters without any further reduction.

Daughter cells that arise from mitosis are diploid. Daughter cells that arise from meiosis (called gametes) are haploid.

Daughter cells (if originating from a dipoid parent) will be diploid at the conclusion of mitosis and cytokinesis.
