Question:

how is the same ploidy level maintained in sexually reproducing organisms generation after generation.

Answer:

To fertilization, the fusion of haploid gametes from two individuals, restores the diploid condition. Thus, sexually-reproducing organisms alternate between haploid and diploid stages. To process of meiosis produces unique reproductive cells called gametes, which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
