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.

<u><em>-What are the differences between the plant and animal cells?
</em></u>
Plant cells:
- Cell wall present
-Nucleus usually lies near periphery due to vacuole.
- Centrosome is usually absent from higher plant cells, except lower motile cells.
- Plastids are present, except fungi.
Animal cell:
- Cell wall absent.
- Nucleus present near centre.
- Usually centrosome is present that helps in formation of spindle fibres.
- Plastids are absent.
<u><em>-Describe the structure of an ATP module.
</em></u>
ATP plays an important role in releasing and storing energy in cells. It is an ideal source of energy because ATP easily releases and stores energy by breaking and re-forming the bonds between its phosphate groups. The ATP module is composed of three components. These phosphates are the key to the activity of ATP.
Answer:
C- All members of the population are genetically similar and are less likely to survive environmental change.
Explanation:
In asexual reproduction, there is no diversity since the offspring gets all their genes from their parent. That being said, they won't be able to inherit traits that would help them survive in a changing environment since there is no diversity of traits that would help them in other environments.
Yes, they do since the images show how weak the winds are.
