FUNCTION:
s
- Humans are composed of diploid cells, possessing two copies of each chromosome (one of Maternal origin, one of Paternal origin)
- Hence, for Humans to reproduce, Haploid gametes are needed that contain only one copy of each chromosome via Meiosis
- As a result, Fertilisation involves the fusion of two haploid gametes (Egg from Mother, and Sperm from father), resulting in the formation of diploid Zygote that will develop into an Embryo

wouldn't the result of meiosis 1 be two diploids? Because they then divide into four haploids in meiosis 2.
