Rationale 1: Sperm that undergo capacitation take on the ability to undergo the acrosomal reaction.
Rationale 2: At the moment of penetration by a fertilizing sperm, the zona pellucida undergoes a reaction that prevents additional sperm from entering a single ovum. This is known as the block to polyspermy.
Rationale 3: Sperm that undergo capacitation take on the ability to bind to the zona pellucida.
Rationale 4: null
Rationale 5: Sperm that undergo capcitation have the acquisition of hypermotility.
