Question

In the process of fertilization, this is true:

Options

• the entry of sperm activates the egg for completing meiosis

• only one sperm reaches the egg and enters it

• only the acrosome of the sperm enters the egg

• two haploid nuclei fuse and immediately divide to produce two nuclei, which are again haploid

Answer 1

the entry of sperm activates the egg for completing meiosis

Explanation:

Fertilization is the joining of male and female gametes to create a new individual organism. Sperm travels to meet the ovum after male ejaculation. In the fallopian tube, they interact. The zona pellucida that surrounds the egg bonds to the sperm, which starts the acrosomal response. Meiosis is completed when the egg activates itself.
