What is the first stage in preparation Ovulation occurs and the egg is picked up by the
for fertilization? fallopian tube (viable for 24 hours).
What is the second stage in The sperm is deposited and transported to the site
preparation for fertilization? of the ovum (viable for 48-72 hours).
What is the third stage in preparation The sperm undergoes capacitation and acrosomal
for fertilization? reaction to penetrate the egg membrane.
What is the fourth stage in Initial sperm penetration causes a chemical
preparation for fertilization? reaction blocking subsequent sperm penetration.
What is the fifth stage in preparation The sperm enters the ovum and a chemical signal
for fertilization? prompts the secondary oocyte to complete
second meiotic division.
