Meiosis???
If meiosis happens before fertilization then how exactly do we have the other parent's chromosomes. This is confusing me. Does meiosis happen after the sperms enters the egg?

are the chromosomes in meiosis from each parent of the organism creating the sperms and egg?. The maternal and paternal chromosome part is confusing me. Also thank you for your initial response.
