This biological process is preceded by a reaction that is triggered by the ZP3 protein of the zona pellucida and results in the exocytosis of hyaluronidase from a secretory granule, the acrosome reaction. Its completion sees the penetration of the cumulus oophorus and the formation of a second (*) polar body. This process does not occur in parthenogenesis and can be performed in vitro to produce a blastocyst for implantation. For 10 points, name this process that involves the fusion of a spermatozooal nucleus and an egg nucleus to produce a primary embryo nucleus.
