At fertilization, the highly condensed and transcriptionally inert chromatin of the spermatozoa becomes remodelled into the decondensed and transcriptionally competent chromatin of the male pronucleus. The chromatin initially becomes dispersed and then transiently recondenses into a small mass upon entry into the ooplasm.
