Solution
Two main processes involved in sexual reproduction:
- Gamete formation: In this, meiotic division occurs due to which chromosome number is reduced to half. As a result, haploid gametes are formed (2n → n).
- Fertilization: Haploid male gamete (n) fuses with the haploid female gamete (n) to form a diploid zygote (2n).
