A-Corticle granules, B-Corticle enzyme, C-Plasma membrane, D-Monospermy. Ovum at the time of fertilization looks like [image:3_image56.png] Steps $A,B,C$ and $D$ can be seen as [image:3_image57.png] A-Sperm passes through corona radiate, B-Acrosome reaction, releasing lysing enzyme, C-Sperm passes through pellucida and reaches oolemma. D-Sperm and egg plasma membranes fuse, enabling the sperm contents to enter egg. E-Cortical reaction, releasing enzymes to harden zona pellucida
