Chapter 51, Problem 3TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: For successful fertilization, several processes such as the acrosome reaction, capacitation, and other methods occur. It is important that fertilization occurs with great accuracy. To prevent polyspermy, echinoderms such as sea urchins have two mechanisms, the fast block, and the slow block reactions.
