if you're mirroring the object, you'd close it up when you attach the mirrored part.

Another way: Create a nurbs cylinder.
In the channel box go down to imputs > make nurbs cylinder1 (# may vary if more than 1 cyl is in scene) & change the end sweep to -180.
It can also be done in the create sphere options . . . Happy Modeling
