Question

how would the result change if sperm attachment required portion of an egg glycoproteins?

keview the experiment shown in rigure b.r. How would the resuits change it sperm attachment required ony the protein portion ot egg glycoproteins RESEARCH QUESTION: What part of surface glycoproteins do sperm recognize when they attach to eggs? SETUP 1. Isolate 2. Separate protein and carbohydrate. Protein Sperm 3. Treat sperm Egg RESULTS Results from this experiment Results from previous experiments 100 80 60 40- 20 Pure protein blocks tew much as intact glycoprotein (control) Only intact glycoprotein would exhibit significant attachment inhibition compared to the untreated control. O Intact glycoprotein, pure protein, and pure carbohydrate would all exhibit significant attachment inhibition compared to untreated control Only intact glycoprotein and pure carbohydrate would exhibit significant attachment inhibition compared to the untreated control. Only intact glycoprotein and pure protein would exhibit significant attachment inhibition compared to the untreated control

Explanation / Answer

Ans

C

Conclusion basis on hypothesis and null hypothesis is that the only intact glycoprotein and pure carbohydrate would exhibit significant attachment inhibition compared to the untreated control.

Sperm recognise and binds to carbohydrate of egg surface glycoprotein where they attach to egg cells and causes attachment inhibition.
