Question
Chapter 46.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The steps that will be bypassed if a sperm nucleus is injected into an oocyte.
Concept introduction: Sperms are produced in the testes of males, and egg cells are produced in the ovary of females. In males, epididymis is a coiled tube that connects the testicle to vas deferens. Vas deferens is a muscular duct through which sperms are propelled out. The fusion of the sperm to egg cell completes the process of fertilization.

Why didn’t they mate each femalewith a single male frog?arrow_forwardReproductive physiology (human) a) At the time of ovulation, the released ovum (egg) has completed both meiosis I and meiosis II. b) Because the corpus luteum (CL) is rescued from atresia by hCG early in pregnancy, the CL continues to produce progesterone throughout the 9 months of a normal pregnancy. c) Late in the follicular phase, estrogen participates in a positive feedback loop that leads to a surge in luteinizing hormone and ovulation. d) Both (a) and (b) are correct and (c) is incorrect e) Statements (a), (b) and (c) are all correctarrow_forwardThere are 6 major events in fertilization. Discuss the process of fertilization or conception, with emphasis on the sperm-egg interaction. Proteins on the sperm plasma membrane bind to ZP3 molecules within the zona pellucida of the egg. Why is this event important? Zona binding triggers the acrosome reaction, in which the sperm plasma membrane fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane, causing exocytosis of acrosomal contents. What is in the "acrosomal content"? Acrosomal enzymes begin to dissolve a hole in the zona pellucida. This enzymatic degradation, accompanied by rapid sperm tail beating, moves the sperm through the zona. Where does the sperm intend to reach?arrow_forward
