The jelly layer of the ovum, often referred to as the zona pellucida, serves several important functions. It provides a protective barrier for the oocyte, aiding in the prevention of polyspermy by allowing only one sperm to penetrate during fertilization. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in the binding and activation of sperm, facilitating the fertilization process. Moreover, the zona pellucida supports early embryonic development by providing structural integrity.

What are the functions of the parts in the ovum cell?
The plasma membrane of the ovum controls what goes in and out of the ovum. The Zona Pellucida also known as the jelly coat is responsible for the binding of the sperm during fertilization. The outermost layer called the corona radiata provides the ovum with essential proteins and protects the ovum as it travels down through the fallopian tubes.
What class of vertibrates is the mertensia ovum?
Mertensia ovum is not in any class of vertebrate, it is a comb jelly in the phylum Ctenophora.
How do you make multicoloured jelly?
You make up the mixture for the first colour that you want the jelly to be, and pour a layer of it into the required container. You leave this to set completely, then make up the colour of jelly that you want the next layer to be. Pour a layer of this jelly on top of the first layer of jelly that has now set. Allow to set again. (Now 2 layers of jelly). Repeat with all required colours. The main issue with this is that jelly takes a long time to set - 3-5 hours per layer, depending on how thick the layers are and how quickly you can cool the jelly down. For an interesting effect, tilt the container which you're setting the jelly in, for diagonal layers of jelly. (Do the final layer untilted, otherwise there will be an uneven base for the jelly to be turned out onto).
What is the function of the jelly-like substance which cover the eggs of the frog?
function of jelly is to protect the egg
What is the function of the acrosome the sperm cell?
An acrsome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the sperm's head. Its purpose is to break down the outer layer of the ovum so the sperm can join the egg.
What is the function of the ovum?
that is the egg that get's fused with the sperm for fertilization
What is the function of hyaluronidase?
it is produced by sperms to help penetrate the ovum and fertilize it
How does ovum prevent multiple penetrations of sperm cells along its periphery?
as soon as a single sperm fertilises the ovum a change of composition takes place in ovum's outer layer forming zona pellucida which prevents the penetration of other sperms.
Which is smaller an ovum or a spermatozoan Answer relating to the function of a cell?
The spermatozoan is the smaller of the 2.
What enzyme is necessary for the ovum penetration?
sperm head= contains DNA; also has acrosome (an enzyme to digest the membrane of the ovum) aids in egg penetration.
How does the ovum prevent multiple penetrations of sperm cells along it's periphery?
The ovum has a protective layer called the zona pellucida that hardens after the entry of one sperm cell, preventing additional sperm cells from penetrating. This process is known as the zona reaction and ensures only one sperm cell fertilizes the egg.
Which layer of osi model has the same function as the internet layer?
that layer
