Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described is known as "zygotic meiosis", where meiosis occurs only after fertilization has taken place, leading to the production of haploid individuals that live out their adult life cycle in the haploid state. This is different from the typical life cycle in most sexually reproducing organisms, where meiosis occurs before fertilization and leads to the production of haploid gametes.
