Which statement describes a cell belonging to a haploid organism that is capable of
reproduction?
a) it has chromosomes that contain one polynucleotide chain.
b) it is capable of carrying out a reduction division to form gametes.
c) it possesses two copies of each gene as a result of fertilisation.
d) it will undergo cell division by mitosis during asexual reproduction.
the answer is d. can anyone explain how?

From the options given above, the correct option is D. A haploid cell is a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes only. A haploid cell can only undergo asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and the cell division usually occurs by mitosis. An organism that is reproducing asexually will transmit 50% of its gene to its offspring[s]. Thus, haploid cells reproduce asexually through mitosis only.
