Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is where a diploid cell gives rise to haploid cells, and fertilization is where two haploid cells (gametes) fuse to form a diploid zygote.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilization is the process in which haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell called a zygote.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the genetic material is combined in the resulting zygote cell. In other words, a single set of chromosomes in two separate haploid cells come together as two sets of chromosomes in a single diploid cell. That zygote cell ultimately undergoes development into a new person.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fertilisation is the process of merging of two haploid cells to form a diploid cell. Human fertilisation is the union of a human egg and sperm to form a zygote (diploid cell).

Detailed explanation-5: -Fertilization occurs with the fusion of two gametes, usually from different individuals, restoring the diploid state (Figure 3). Once the two gametes have fused during fertilization, the resulting diploid cell is called a zygote. A zygote is diploid (2 copies of each chromosome), just like the original parent organism.
