The correct answer to the following question is "By fertilization".

Explanation:

Fertilization seems to be the mechanism or process whereby genders (Females or males) gametes are mixed simultaneously, causing a fresh organism to create.

Several species invest the bulk of their development process in a diploid form. If genetic recombination or meiosis creates haploid organisms, the number of diploids preserved by fertilization for certain kinds of species.
