The outer layer of the egg changes to prevent more than one sperm from entering the egg.
The outer layer of the egg changes to prevent more than one sperm from entering the egg.
The change in the egg's covering is due to a process called the zona reaction, which is triggered by the entry of the sperm into the egg. This reaction helps prevent other sperm from entering the egg, ensuring that only one sperm fertilizes the egg.
No, but the egg does.
An egg only allows one sperm to enter and is fertilized by that one sperm: 2 cannot enter.
It prevents secondary fertilization by another sperm cell.
If sperm has not entered the womans body then sperm will not come in contact with the egg so no you will not get pregnant.
After a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell, the jelly layer, or zona pellucida, undergoes a process called cortical reaction. This reaction causes the release of enzymes that alter the jelly layer's structure, preventing additional sperm from binding and entering the egg, thereby ensuring that only one sperm fertilizes the egg. This change is critical for maintaining the genetic integrity of the fertilized egg and initiating the development of the embryo.
Because the egg will attach to the the female wall and develop itself.
Fertilization occurs when a sperm and egg unite.
The outer covering of an egg is called the shell.
