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

Biology

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.

Which branch of the autonomic nervous system (ans) mobilizes the body during extreme situations, such as rage or fear?
Shalnov [3]
There are two branches of the autonomic nervous system, namely the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Both of which regulates bodily functions involuntarily but in different manners. The parasympathetic system is the system primarily activated in "relaxed" states or "rest and digest" states. These include digestion, urination, slowing of heart rate, slowing of respiratory rate, etc. The sympathetic nervous system on the other hand is primarily activated by "flight or flight" response such as rage or fear. These include inhibition of digestion, increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, sweating, etc.

What is the importance of understanding Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment?
andriy [413]
Well first off, Mendel’s law of segregation states that individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring. Mendel’s law of independent assortment states the inheritance of one pair of factors (genes) is independent of the inheritance of the other pair. Now Mendel discovered this through his little experiment with the pea plants that showed certain traits through a particular pattern, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and heredity.
