Is this by any chance based on the intro to the meiosis chapter of the Russel biology textbook?

What's that?

I'll take that as a no. But here is the best biology chapter introduction in recorded history: A couple clearly shows mutual interest. First, he caresses her with one arm, then another–then another, another, and another. She reciprocates. This interaction goes on for hours; a hug here, a squeeze there. At the climactic moment, the male reaches deftly under his mantle and removes a packet of sperm, which he inserts under the mantle of the female. For every one of his sperm that successfully performs its function, a fertilized egg can develop into a new octopus.

[continuation] For the octopus, sex is an occasional event, preceded by a courtship ritual that involves intermingled tentacles. For another marine animal, the slipper limpet, sex is a lifelong group activity. Slipper limpets are relatives of snails. Like many other animals, a slipper limpet passes through a free-living immature stage before it becomes a sexually mature adult. When the time comes for an immature limpet to transform into an adult, it settles onto a rock or other firm surface. If the limpet settles by itself, it develops into a female. If instead it settles on top of a female, it develops into a male. If another slipper limpet settles down on that male, it, too, becomes a male. Adult slipper limpets almost always live in such piles, with the one on the bottom always being a female. All the male limpets continually contribute sperm that fertilize eggs shed by the female. If the one female dies, the surviving male at the bottom of the pile changes into a female and reproduction continues.
