Penetration of the egg' zona pellucida by the sperm cell is a process driven by hydrolytic enzymes.  
<span>
The critical step in fertilization is binding between sperm receptors and glycoproteins on the zona pellucida. This is the trigger for the acrosome reaction which includes an influx of CA and a rise in pH and cAMP levels within the sperm head. As a result, the plasma membrane of the sperm fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane and the exocytosis of the acrosomal<span> vesicle occurs. Components of the acrosome, like hydrolytic enzymes, are released and they degrade the <span>zona pellucida allowing</span> the sperm to move </span>inside.</span>

1. Why do you think temperature is the measure of the "average"
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Temperature is the measure of the average energy of motion of all the particles present in a substance because particles of a substance moves due to the presence of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in an object due to its motion. When temperature of a substance is increased, the particles absorb heat energy from surrounding environment and starts motion. This motion of particles due to the absorption of heat energy is called kinetic energy. So that's why temperature is considered as a tool to measure average energy of a motion.

Approximately what percentage of the human genome actually codes for proteins?
34kurt

The correct answer is: 2.5%

The vast majority of the human genome (97.5%) is comprised of non-coding DNA with different functions. Non-coding DNA includes telomeres, introns, non-coding RNA genes and gene regulatory sequences.

• Telomeres-ends of DNA with protective role (prevents shortening of DNA),

• Non-coding RNA genes-e.g. genes for tRNA,

• Gene regulatory sequences such as promoter, enhancers and silencers.
