where do primordial germ cells divide?
in gonads
1 of 12
what is fertilisation?
the exact moment when the nuclei of the male and female gametes fuse.
2 of 12
what is zona pellucida?
protective glycoprotein surrounding the egg cell membrane that sperm have to penetrate.
3 of 12
how does mitochondria help sperm to move ?
it provides energy via respiration for the flagellum to move
4 of 12
when does acrosome reaction occur ?
once one sperm makes contact with zona pellucida of the egg cell
5 of 12
what is acrosome reaction?
digestive enzymes are released from the acrosome.,which digest the zona pellucida so sperm can move through it to the egg cell membrane of the egg cell
6 of 12
what makes zona pellucida thicken and why?
chemicals from cortical granues,which.makes it impenetrable to other sperm.
7 of 12
how is a diploid zygote produced in plants?
first male gamete fuses with with female gamete nucleus .
8 of 12
how is a triploid zygote produced in plants?
second male gamete fuses with two polar nuclei producing a triploid primary endosperm nucleus.
9 of 12
where does fertilisation take place in plants ?
in the embryo sac within the ovule
10 of 12
what forms the seed's storage tissues?
a triploid cell (endosperm)
11 of 12
when do males produce viable sperm?
puberty-death
