Explanation / Answer

Answer to first question:

Muscle cells are somatic cells(body cells). Such cells divide by the mechanism of mitosis.

Fertilisation is the process of fusion of male and female gamete cells (sperm and egg).

Meiosis is the process by which game cells are produced.

Thus, correct answer is mitosis.
