I believe it is fertilization

Dario Wagner · Answer 2

fertilization

Explanation:

Meiosis is a very important cell division process for animals and plants, because in these groups it is related to the production of gametes or spores (in plants), so meiosis is an important process for fertilization. By halving the number of chromosomes, this process guarantees, after fertilization, the restoration of the number of chromosomes in a species. In addition, meiosis enables genetic variability.

Meiosis begins after chromosome duplication, which occurs in the so-called interphase. After this duplication, the first of the two divisions that will occur in this cell division process begins.
