Resource partitioning
Resource partitioning refers to differences in resource use
between species regardless of the origin of the differences. Similar species
can coexist in the same ecological community without one pushing the others to
extinction through competition. Species compete for the same resources which
include nutrients and habitats which are the raw materials needed by organisms
to grow, live, and reproduce. For the question given above, the divergence in
lizards is an example of resource partitioning.
I suppose it's a zygote. In haplontic life cycle haploid gametes fuse together creating the zygote (diploid) that promptly divides meiotically creating 4 haplontic cells serving as spores.

A. Twelve cells with 16 chromosomes each
if the hypothesis is rejected, it may not need to be displayed
