Following statements are regarding to cortical granule reaction.

A. To initiating the slow block to polyspermy the release of Ca2+ that occurs when the sperm enters the egg is critical for activating the egg’s metabolism and initiating development

B. Calcium ions release the inhibitors from maternally stored messages, allowing these mRNAs to be translated

C. Calcium ions are not release the inhibition of nuclear division, thereby allowing cleavage to occur.

D. Udx1, the enzyme responsible for the reduction of oxygen to crosslink the fertilization envelope, is also NADPH-dependent

E. The fertilization envelope is elevated from the cell membrane by glycosaminoglycans which provides support for the blastomeres during cleavage
