Illustration of a sperm cell fertilising an egg cell. The sperm cell has bound to the egg cell, after the sperm cell triggered the acrosome reaction. This reaction triggers the rupturing of cortical granules below the egg surface, which renders it impermeable to other sperm cells. The reaction allows the sperm's genetic material to then combine with that of the egg. | |
