Fertilisation
 

The activation binding and fusion of the sperm causes movement of the cortical granules to prevent further sperm penetration. Egg completes meiosis and the 2nd polar body is extruded. The 2 pronuclei come together, the membranes break down and chromosones align on a common spindle. Cell divisions then occur by mitosis.
