The ovum has a thick layer of cells lining the outside which must be breached before reaching the zona pellucida (ZP), the great barrier of the ovum. How does a sperm breach the layer of cells, known as the corona radiata, and breatch the ZP? Equally important, how does the ovum prevent multiple sperm from breaching the ZP (as in, how does the ovum stop other sperm once one of them is past the ZP?) The breaching of the ovum's defenses involves 2 (e.g. it breaches the corona radiata and interacting with the ZP) to 4 steps here, depending on the level of detail required, which you may wish to research/recall. ...
