Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capacitation is a functional change that sperm go through when they are in the female reproductive tract. This process involves the removal of glycoproteins from the surface of the sperm cell and the destabilization of the acrosomal membrane, allowing the sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida and fertilize the egg. The other choices (A, B, C, and E) are also relevant, but they do not represent a complete series of functional changes.
