♦ Relevant knowledge
The succession of changes that occur throughout the life that an animal goes through (including reproduction) is known as the life cycle. It is a sequence of events that bring an entirely new product or life into existence , and then follows its development, growth, maturation, and finally death. All animals and plants have life cycles.

E) Diploid
F)Zygote
G) Mitosis.
Explanation: A mature, haploid male germ cell that can fuse with another sex to create a zygote.
Meiosis is a process that reduces the number chromosomes within a parent diploid cell to half its size.
Meiosis refers to a method of cell division that reduces the number chromosomes by half in the parent cell. This is necessary to produce egg cells and sperm cells in order to reproduce sexually.
Two complete sets (2n), of chromosomes are found in diploid cells. Diploid cells can produce daughter cells by mitosis.
Fertilization refers to the process of fusion of gametes in order to form zygote, and initiate the development of an individual organism.
Mitosis, a form of cell division that results in two daughters cells with the same number of and type of chromosomes than the parent nucleus is typical for normal tissue growth.
