In the block to polyspermy, entry of the sperm's contents causes calcium ion levels in the oocyte's cytoplasm to rise, triggering the cortical reaction.

In biology, polyspermy describes the fertilization of an egg by more than one sperm. Diploid organisms normally contain two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent.

The cell resulting from polyspermy, on the other hand, contains three or more copies of each chromosome—one from the egg and one each from multiple sperm. Usually, the result is an unviable zygote. This may occur because sperm are too efficient at reaching and fertilizing eggs due to the selective pressures of sperm competition.

The cortical reaction is a calcium-dependent exocytotic process in which the content of secretory granules is released into the perivitellin space immediately after fertilization, which serves to prevent polyspermic fertilization.

Agricultural practices relating to irrigation have the tendency to reduce the water level of river basins.

<h3>What are the effects of irrigation agriculture on river basins?</h3>

Irrigation agriculture requires that crops are watered artificially and this requires a water source. Hence, waters in river basins suffer and this leads to a reduction in their levels.

Water quality is impacted by agricultural practices such as the use of agrochemicals and fertilizers. Agrochemicals are washed into water bodies and this impacts biodiversity life in water.

One conservation strategy to reduce the impact of this kind of agricultural practice would be to practice organic farming. A farming practice that is devoid of using agrochemicals or the ones that are not poisonous to biodiversity and are biodegradable.
