Answer:

Meiosis

Step-by-step explanation:

This occurs during fertilisation when a male and female gamete fuse to form a single cell.

It isn't mitosis because, when two cells are produced, they are identical to the parent cell, thus called daughter cells and remains to have a diploid number of chromosomes.
