Meiosis is results in gametes (or sex cells) that have half the number of choromosomes as non-sex cells.
This means that when fertilization occurs, each gamete is carrying half the number of chromosomes - so when they combine, you end up with the number of chormosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells.
I don't know
Why don't you pay attention in class more
Total number of chromosomes remain same in same species of organism through meiosis process. In meiosis process the number of chromosomes are reduced to half as a result in gametes only one set of chromosomes will be present. In this process chromosomes are same.....
No of chromosomes is maintained by meiosis and fertilization .
No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.

The zygote's number of chromosomes is double that of the two sex cells
Simple, Meiosis reduce the chromosome number in half while fertilization doubles the chromosome number. n=chromosome number Meiosis = 2n (primordial germ cells) ----> n (sperm cell/egg cell/polar bodies) Fertilization = sperm (n) + egg (n) ----> 2n (zygote)

it is a reductional division so that at time of fertilization baby get half number of chromosome from the parents.

Yes - the daughter cells produced in meiosis (gametes) have half the number of chromosomes as those in the original cell. This is why meiosis is referred to as 'reduction division'. However, as meiosis produces cells which are involved in sexual reproduction - the chromosome number in the species remains constant. This is because when the two gametes combine, the resulting organism has the correct number of chromosomes (half from each gamete).
The chromosome number at the end of meiosis is half of the parent cell
Meiosis.
Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in gametes (sex cells) that possess half the chromosome number of the parent cell. In other words, meiosis reduces the chromosome number by one-half.
