    In order to happen sexual reproduction, the cells that origin gametes must have an even number of chromosomes. By crossing a tetraploid (4n) with a diploid (2n), the offspring would have a total number of 3 copies of each chromosome (2 from the tetraploid parent and 1 from the diploid parent), which when undergoing sexual reproduction would not allow meiosis to happen because the chromosomes could not be evenly divided to gamete cells.
