The male and female gametes, sperm and ovum are haploid and the zygote formed from them is diploid.
If the male and female gamete were diploid, the number of chromosomes in each generation would have continued to double and this would result in an increasing number of chromosome.
The number of chromosomes in a particular species should remain constant generation after generation. So meiosis or reduction division occurs in the sex cells
