Why are organisms that broadcast spawn useful for studying fertilization & development? a. Fertilization is observable because the eggs are large enough to see. b. Fertilization occurs without the need for parents. c. Fertilization occurs outside the bodies of the parents, so it can be directly observed. d. Fertilization does not require multiple gametes.

In sexual reproduction, two cells of a species combine to form another cell. Why is this useful? a. It produces new combination of genes, which enables offspring to survive during environmental changes. b. It results in the production of many offspring in a short period of time. c. It does not involve gamete formation and requires less energy. d. It allows immobile organisms to reproduce in the absence of a mate.
What occurs as a result of fertilization of an egg and sperm? a. Fertilization restores diploidy. b. Fertilization always results in a viable embryo. c. Fertilization merges two diploid cells into a haploid cell. d. Fertilization precedes ovulation
