Zygote formation occurs in all sexually reproducing organisms after fusion of gametes. Gametes are formed by meiosis.

Any sexually reproducing organism starts its life cycle from a single-celled zygote.

Growth of multicellular organisms takes place as the zygote divides by mitosis.

Meiosis helps to reduce the chromosomal number by half of its parent cell.

Fusion of gametes reestablishes diploidy. Thus, both mitosis and meiosis are essential for a sexually reproducing organism.
