Questions and Answers

What is the role of acrosine in the fertilization process?

  • It is responsible for the cortical reaction in the oocyte.
  • It modifies the extracellular matrix of the egg to make it impenetrable to sperm entry.
  • It helps the sperm to pass through the zona pellucida. (correct)
  • It is involved in the fusion of the sperm and oocyte cell membranes.

    • What is the purpose of the zona reaction during fertilization?

  • It prevents the binding of another sperm to ZP3 in the zona pellucida. (correct)
  • It causes the sperm binding activity of ZP3 to be lost.
  • It creates a fast blockage to polyspermy by modifying the extracellular matrix.
  • It releases cortical granules to the perivitellin space to avoid polyspermy.

    • What is the first answer of the oocyte to the incoming sperm?

  • The release of cortical granules.
  • The cortical reaction. (correct)
  • The zona reaction.
  • The fusion of the oolemma with the sperm.
