a Vlable pregnancy after mating. Investigating further we find that there are plenty of sperm present in the reproductive tract of the female, the sperm appear to have normal mobility, but the zona pellucida is intact following exposure to the sperm. Given this information, where is an issue most likely occuring in this mating pair's attempt at fertilization? The cortical reaction. The acrosomal reaction. Spermatogenesis.
