A reaction fo granules content which harden the zona pellucida and ensures sure block to polyspermy is

A

acrosomal reaction

B

cortical reaction

C

acrosin reaction

D

binding reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Immediately after the fusion of sperm and egg plasma membranes, the egg shows a cortical reaction. In this reaction . In this reaction, the cortical granules present beneath the egg's plama membrane fuse with the plama membrane and release enzymes between it and zona pellucida. These enzymes harden the zona pellucida, which now functions to block polyspermy.

How does zona pellucida of ovum help in preventing polyspermy?

which of the following event is/are included in fast block to prevent polyspermy?

Name the stage at which zona pellucida envelop disintegrates

Fill up the blanks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option. During copulation (coitus) semen is released by the penis into the vagina and is called (i)._____.the ovum released by the ovary is transported to the (ii)._____where (iii).______takes place during fertilisation, a sperm comes in contact with the zona pellucida layer of the ovum and induces changes in the membrane that block the entry of (iv)._____The secretions of the (v)._____help the sperm enter into the cytoplasm of the ovum.

Assertion: Only one sperm can fertilise an ovum. Reason: During fertilisation, a sperm comes in contact with zona pellucida layer of the ovum and induces changes in the membrane that blocks the entry of additional sperms.

A block of mass m is placed on a rough inclined plane. The corfficient of friction between the block and the plane is mu and the inclination of the plane is theta .Initially theta=0 and the block will remain stationary on the plane. Now the inclination theta is gradually increased . The block presses theinclined plane with a force mgcostheta . So welding strength between the block and inclined is mumgcostheta , and the pulling forces is mgsintheta . As soon as the pulling force is greater than the welding strength, the welding breaks and the blocks starts sliding, the angle theta for which the block start sliding is called angle of repose (lamda) . During the contact, two contact forces are acting between the block and the inclined plane. The pressing reaction (Normal reaction) and the shear reaction (frictional force). The net contact force will be resultant of both. Answer the following questions based on above comprehension: Q. For what value of theta will the block slide on the inclined plane:
