1. There are many pathways in fertilization that remain as gray areas. Choose one of these pathways and visually show where the "unknown" lies. Example: The Izumo-Juno/CD9 complex is responsible for sperm to bind with the egg prior to its penetration. The IP3 pathway is responsible for cytosolic Ca+2 to increase in concentration, promoting the polyspermy block and egg activation that precedes amphimixis. What signaling pathway is activated by the Izumo-Juno/CD9 complex formation that will in turn activate the IP3 pathway?
