    Summary

    Nematodirus battus eggshells become permeable and leak trehalose during hatching. Ruthenium red inhibits hatching by binding to calcium sites, while protein phosphorylation is linked to this process.

    Fertilization

    During fertilization, an egg and sperm cell fuse to create a new diploid structure. In humans, the process occurs once the egg has been released from the ovary, and travels into the fallopian tubes. The process requires several key steps: 1) sperm present in the genital tract must locate the egg; 2) once there, sperm need to release enzymes to help them burrow through the protective zona pellucida of the egg; and 3) the membranes of a single sperm cell and egg must fuse, with the sperm...
