After sperm makes contact with the egg's surface, the acrosome membrane at the sperm's tip fuses with the egg's plasma membrane releasing acrosome contents. A continuous membrane is formed between the sperm and the egg and the sperm's contents, including its nucleus, then begin to enter the egg's cytoplasm.Credit:Don W.
