b) fertilization

Meiosis produces two haploid gametes which will fertilize with another gamete to produce a new organism.

ok, meiosis starts off like regular mitosis, except for that it keeps going resulting in four haploid gametes. The gametes of male and female come together in fertilization to restore the diploid number. chiasmata are the places where crossing over occurs.
