Question
Chapter 47.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The prediction of events that will happen if calcium ion (Ca2+) is injected into an unfertilized egg.
Concept introduction:
Membrane depolarization caused by cortical reaction lasts long, which prevents polyspermy.
High concentration of calcium is needed for the formation of fertilization envelope.
