Explain what happens to the zona pellucida after the egg is fertilised ​

Biology

vodka [1.7K]2 years ago

write it in your own words:

"In humans, five days after the fertilization, the blastocyst performs zona hatching; the zona pellucida degenerates and decomposes, to be replaced by the underlying layer of trophoblastic cells. The zona pellucida is essential for oocyte growth and fertilization."

The zona pellucida supports communication between oocytes and follicle cells during oogenesis; protects oocytes, eggs, and embryos during development, and regulates interactions between ovulated eggs and free-swimming sperm during and following fertilization.

The blastocyst achieves zona hatching. The zona pellucida deteriorates and disintegrates, waiting for its replacement by the underlying layer of trophoblastic cells.

Once a sperm enters the zona pellucida, it connects and combines with the plasma membrane of the oocyte. Union occurs at the back region of the sperm head. The molecular characteristics of sperm-oocyte binding are not entirely resolved.

How can organism's be so unique if the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same between organism's?​
Masja [62]

Every organism is unique, even though the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same, because the structure is different in every organism. In other words, it's just the order in which nucleotides are placed that differs each organism from one another.

How does biodiversity depend on a species' ability to reproduce
bekas [8.4K]
Biodiversity depends on a species' ability to reproduce itself. If a species cannot reproduce then it will die out. This depends on the climatic conditions of the region. If there is a natural disaster for example, it will affect a species' ability to reproduce. This reduces the number of diverse species on earth. Biodiversity is the recognised variety of different types of life found on the earth. It also measures the variety of number and variety of plants, animals and other organisms found in different ecosystems.
