  • Card 7 / 15:
    Describe the two events that are common to all sexually reproducing organisms and how they fit into the different life cycles of those organisms.

    The two events common to all sexually reproducing organisms are meiosis and fertilization. Meiosis reduces a diploid cell to a haploid state. The haploid cell may divide mitotically to produce an organism, some of whose cells will combine during fertilization, or the haploid cells produced by meiosis may immediately combine in fertilization to produce a diploid cell that divides to produce an organism.
