For example, diploid human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total), half of maternal origin and half of paternal origin. Meiosis produces haploid gametes (ova or sperm) that contain one set of 23 chromosomes. When two gametes (an egg and a sperm) fuse, the resulting zygote is once again diploid, with the mother and father each contributing 23 chromosomes.
Best Answer: Meiosis is the process of cells in which chromosomes are divided not by diploids (the resulting amount of chromosomes in the daughter cell is the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cell) but by haploid (the resulting amount of chromosomes in the daughter cell is HALF the amount of the parent cell).
