Summary
The
Cortical Reaction
is a crucial process during fertilization where the
Egg's cortical granules
release their contents to prevent polyspermy, ensuring only one
Sperm fertilizes the egg
. This reaction leads to the formation of a
Fertilization Envelope
, which acts as a
Barrier to additional sperm entry
, thus maintaining the
Integrity of the zygote's genetic material
.
