Best Answer

The process of meiosis results in the production of gametes in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. During sygamy, two gametes fuse to form a new cell, and the number of chromosomes is restored to the full amount. Therefore, by coupling meiosis and syngamy, the organism ensures that the proper number of chromosomes will be maintained.
