Which of the following cause sperm death on their journey to the egg?

Trapped in cilia of fallopian tube

Traveling to empty fallopian tube

The female reproductive tract releases chemicals in the fallopian tube that change the sperm membrane. How do sperm change as a result?

They become hyperactive and swim faster and harder towards the end

They become sluggish and swim slower and softer towards the end

They die and lose the ability to swim towards the egg

They become paralyzed and lose the ability to swim towards the egg

What will happen to the first sperm that comes into contact with the egg membrane?

Their membranes will fuse and the sperm is pulled inside the egg

Their sperm membrane will become glued to the outside of the egg and remain there

Their sperm's DNA will be sucked inside the cell while the rest of the sperm will fall off of the egg's surface

Why can't multiple sperm fertilize an egg?

The egg produces chemicals that push other sperm away from the egg

The zona pellucida hardens trapping sperm inside

The egg cell membrane changes preventing sperm from attaching to it

The zona pellucida hardens so no more sperm can enter

After the sperm has fused with the egg and entered, what events take place?

The pronuleus of the male and female fuse completing the process of fertilization

The pronuleus of the male and female separate completing the process of fertilization

Cilia pull zygote towards infundibulum

Cilia pull sperm towards infundibulum
