Is a diploid organism formed in the fertilization or meiosis during sexual reproduction?

Any cell that forms by meiosis (sexual reproduction) is going to be haploid, half the number of chromosomes. Fertilization brings together these two haploid cells that were produced by meiosis and produces on diploid cell, a zygote.

What are the main steps in the diploid life cycle?
The main steps in the diploid life cycle are: meiosis, to gametes, to fertilization, to zygote, to diploid individuals, to a reproductive cellIf you are mainly concentrating on the steps I guess you could say Meiosis and Fertilization.
The fusion of male and female gamete is called?
The fusion of two haploid gametes to form a new diploid cell is called fertilization. Self-fertilization in plants, the fusion of two gametes from the same individual to form a diploid offspring.
Why must the life cycle of sexually reproducing species alternate between haploid and diploid stages?
Meiosis maintains the normal diploid number by halving the number to make the gametes and then allowing the diploid number to be restored through fertilization. For example in humans: Germ cells undergo meiosis --> Sex reproduction 2n germ cells --> 1n gametes --> 2n fertilization
What is apomixis?
An apomixis is an instance of plant reproduction without fertilization, meiosis, or the production of gametes.
Do mitosis happen in sexual reproduction?
noIt produces identical cells to mother cell. Meiosis is important in sexual reproduction
What are the steps in the diploid life cycle?
The steps in the diploid life cycle are meiosis, to gametes, to fertilization, to diploid, to reproductive cell. The main steps are Meiosis and Fertilization.
By what mechanism does a diploid animal grow after fertilization?
Meiosis.

Why do sexual reproductiong organism needs both mitosis and meiosis?
Meiosis is also termed as reduction division. first the diploid(2n) gamete undergoes meiosis to become haploid(1n) then fertilization takes place. For growth and development mitosis is necessary. Meiosis is needed to half the chromosomes number . For example in human there are 46 chromosomes. if fertilization takes place without meiosis then the resulting organism would have 92 chromosomes which off course will not be a human!
Reproduction that results from meiosis followed by fertilization of the egg by the sperm?
sexual
What type of division occurs to produce an embryo plant the diploid zygote formed after fertilization?
meiosis
What type of division occur to produce an embryo plant from the diploid zygote formed after fertilization?
meiosis
Asexual reproduction of a diploid organism would a.be impossible b.involve meiosis c.produce identical offspring d.show variation among sibling offspring e.invlove spores produced by meiosis?
i believe its c. produce identical offspring...
How to relate meiosis gametes and fertilization?
meiosis is the process in which a parent cell divides to form (haploid) daughter cells having half the number of chromosomes as compared to the parent cell.These daughter cells produced by the process of meiosis are called gametes.When the male and female gametes fuse together they form the diploid zygote.This process is called fertilization.
