Explain the process of ovum activation.
Ovum activation is the process by which the oocyte is stimulated to complete meiosis and become a mature egg ready for fertilization. This is typically triggered by the entry of a sperm into the oocyte, which leads to changes in the oocyte's membrane potential and the release of calcium ions, initiating the activation process.

What triggers the activation of the ovum?
The activation of the ovum is triggered by the entry of a sperm into the oocyte, which leads to changes in the oocyte's membrane potential and the release of calcium ions, initiating the activation process.
What is the outcome of ovum activation?
What is the outcome of ovum activation?
The outcome of ovum activation is the completion of meiosis, resulting in the formation of a mature egg that is capable of fusing with a sperm during fertilization.
