C)spermiogenesis.
D)capacitation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of the acrosomal membrane of the sperm fusing with the plasma membrane of the egg is known as the acrosomal reaction. This process allows the sperm to release enzymes that break down the protective layer around the egg, thereby allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg. Spermatogenesis refers to the production of sperm cells in the testes, while spermiogenesis refers to the process by which spermatids mature into sperm cells. Capacitation is the process by which sperm become capable of fertilizing an egg.
