Male Gamete Contributions to the Embryo

1 Dec 2005

Abstract excerpt

During normal fertilization, plasma membranes of a spermatozoon and an oocyte mingle to form a mosaic plasma membrane of a zygote. This may contribute to the polyspermy block of the zygote. Sperm tail components (mitochondria, axonema, and accessory fibers) that enter the oocyte are "digested" without playing major roles in embryo development. The proximal centrosome adjacent to the sperm nucleus may become the...
