What are the three specific interactions between a sea urchin egg and sperm that make sure the sperm from the same species fertilizes an egg cell? What are the two mechanisms that an egg cell used to prevent polyspermy? 3. What does fast block work to prevent polyspermy? What would happen to fertilization if the sodium concentration decreases in the environment where sea urchin fertilization occurs?

What would be the most likely effect of inhibiting the translation of hunchback mRNA throughout the embryo?
A sea urchin egg is treated with an inhibitor that prevents the rise in intracellular Ca2+ right before fertilization. Which of the following events would be blocked by addition of this inhibitor? Choose one or more: A. formation of vesicles under the plasma membrane B. exocytosis of hydrolytic enzymes C. fertilization envelope rising from the cell surface D. entry of multiple sperm into the cell
