Haploid germ cells fuse to be diploid zygote

Formation of the germ cells (the sperm and egg), however, involves a unique type of cell division (meiosis) in which only one member of each chromosome pair is transmitted to each progeny cell. Consequently, the sperm and egg are haploid, containing only one copy of each chromosome. The union of these two haploid cells at fertilization creates a new diploid organism, now containing one member of each chromosome pair derived from the male and one from the female parent. The behavior of chromosome pairs thus parallels that of genes, leading to the conclusion that genes are carried on chromosomes.
