However, during mitosis the cytoplasm fails to divide, and only one daughter cell is produced. A resultant sperm eventually fertilizes a normal ovum. What is the chromosomal complement of the embryo?arrow_forwardDarcy and Raul are having difficulty conceiving a child. Darcy ovulates every 28 days, and Rauls sperm count is normal. If we could observe Rauls sperm about an horn after ejaculation, however, wed see that they appear to be moving only sluggishly. When Rauls sperm eventually encounter Darcys oocyte, they appeal to be incapable of generating an adequate acrosomal reaction. Which process has probably gone wrong?arrow_forward
