Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?

It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have triple the chromosome number of the organism.

It allows gametes to have twice the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

It allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.
