• what are the three stages of fertilisation and in the correct order

  capacitation , the acrosome reaction and the cortical reaction
• what can only sperm only do once capacitation has taken place in fertilisation

  fertilise a secondarily oocyte
• how long will capacitation take

• what is surrounding a sperm before capacitation takes place

  cholesterol and glycoproteins
• what process will cause the removal of cholesterol and glycoproteins from a sperm

  capacitation
• what is a acrosome

  the head of sperm
• what does capacitation and the removal of cholesterol and glycoproteins mean about the sperm head(acrosome)


  it will be more permeable to calcium ions
