Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capacitation is the process by which sperm become capable of penetrating and fertilizing the oocyte. It involves changes to the sperm cell membrane and enzymes present in the sperm. Maturation, differentiation, and meiosis are all processes related to the development of sperm, but they do not specifically prepare the sperm for fertilization. Frenulation is not a known process related to sperm.
