Explain what happens during the process of fertilization using the following terms: diploid, egg, haploid, sperm, and zygote

During fertilization, an egg with haploid number of chromosomes unites with a sperm cell with a haploid number of chromosomes to form a zygote with a diploid number of chromosomes.

Explanation: Fertilization is a process in which a sperm cell from a male fuses with an egg from a woman to form a zygote. Sperm cells and eggs are diploid cells and they have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. During fertilization the haploid chromosomes from the sperm cells combine with the haploid chromosomes from egg to form a zygote with diploid chromosomes. Diploid cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Haploid cells are produced in meiosis while diploid cells are produced in mitosis.

an active site is a region that is present on an enzyme where the reactants or the substrate molecules we can say bind and experience a chemical reaction. the substrate is basically a reactant whose concentration is changing and that is converting into a product after binding at the active site of an enzyme

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
