How does a zygote divide..? Meiosis or mitosis? Why?

2 Answers

When a human reaches sexual maturity, its germ line cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (eggs or sperm), each with 23 chromosomes. ... That diploid zygote then divides by mitosis to produce a multicellular human of the next generation, completing one life cycle.

The answer is Mitosis.
The zygote divides through a process called mitosis, in which each cell doubles by dividing into two cells.
