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.

During an interphase lasting 23 hours the S stage takes average 8.0 hours.What is the percentage of interphase is taken up by S
Alik [6]

The right answer is 34.78%

The interphase is the period of the cell cycle that the cell transcribes its genes and the chromosomes are duplicated. It can be subdivided into several phases:

* phase G1

* phase S: during which the chromosomal material is doubled by DNA replication. This is called chromosome duplication.

* phase G2.

Phase G1 is the longest phase of the interphase (its duration depends on the type of cell), followed by phase S, then phase G2.

To calculate the proportion of phase S in the interphase simply make the division:

phase duration S / interphase duration = 8/23 = 0.3478 (in percentage that is 34.78% (0.3478*100)).
