What is the purpose of the ovum’s zona pellucida?
- A. Prevents multiple sperm from fertilizing the ovum
- B. Stimulates the ovum to begin mitotic cell division
- C. Allows the 46 chromosomes from each gamete to merge
- D. Makes a pathway for more than one sperm to reach the ovum
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The zona pellucida is a protective layer surrounding the ovum (egg cell). One of its primary functions is to prevent multiple sperm from fertilizing the egg by only allowing one sperm to penetrate and fertilize the ovum. This is crucial for ensuring that the resulting embryo has the correct genetic material (46 chromosomes) and does not have an abnormal number of chromosomes, which could lead to developmental issues. The zona pellucida acts as a physical barrier that helps to maintain the genetic integrity of the offspring.
