What happens during fertilisation in humans after many sperms reach close to the ovum?
1. | Only two sperms nearest the ovum penetrate zona pellucida |
2. | Secretions of acrosome help one sperm enter the cytoplasm of the ovum through zona pellucida |
3. | All sperms except the one nearest to the ovum lose their tails |
4. | Cells of corona radiata trap all the sperms except one |
