GO Term : GO:0007339 binding of sperm to zona pellucida GO

Namespace:  biological_process Obsolete:  false
description  The process in which the sperm binds to the zona pellucida glycoprotein layer of the egg. The process begins with the attachment of the sperm plasma membrane to the zona pellucida and includes attachment of the acrosome inner membrane to the zona pellucida after the acrosomal reaction takes place.

GO:0019953 sexual reproduction A reproduction process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. It occurs both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes: in multicellular eukaryotic organisms, an individual is created anew; in prokaryotes, the initial cell has additional or transformed genetic material. In a process called genetic recombination, genetic material (DNA) originating from two different individuals (parents) join up so that homologous sequences are aligned with each other, and this is followed by exchange of genetic information. After the new recombinant chromosome is formed, it is passed on to progeny.
GO:0007338 single fertilization The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
GO:0009987 cellular process Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level.
GO:0044763 single-organism cellular process Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, occurring within a single organism.
GO:0044699 single-organism process A biological process that involves only one organism.
GO:0008150 biological_process Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
GO:0000003 reproduction The production of new individuals that contain some portion of genetic material inherited from one or more parent organisms.
GO:0051704 multi-organism process A biological process which involves another organism of the same or different species.
GO:0022414 reproductive process A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents.
GO:0044702 single organism reproductive process A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals, involving a single organism.
GO:0044703 multi-organism reproductive process A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals, involving another organism.
GO:0009988 cell-cell recognition Cell recognition between cells. May involve the formation of specialized cell junctions.
GO:0008037 cell recognition The process in which a cell in an organism interprets its surroundings.
GO:0009566 fertilization The union of gametes of opposite sexes during the process of sexual reproduction to form a zygote. It involves the fusion of the gametic nuclei (karyogamy) and cytoplasm (plasmogamy).
GO:0035036 sperm-egg recognition The initial contact step made between the sperm plasma membrane and outer layer of the egg during fertilization.
GO:0007339 binding of sperm to zona pellucida The process in which the sperm binds to the zona pellucida glycoprotein layer of the egg. The process begins with the attachment of the sperm plasma membrane to the zona pellucida and includes attachment of the acrosome inner membrane to the zona pellucida after the acrosomal reaction takes place.
