Following statements are related to slow block to polyspermy in mammals.

A. A First slow block to polyspermy comes When the cortical granules fuse with the egg cell membrane, they release protein-digesting enzymes which is called as ovastacin that modify the zona pellucida proteins.

B. A second slow block to polyspermy comes from the so-called zinc spark, the release of billions of zinc ions that is induced by the entry of the first sperm, these released zinc ions are seen to bind to the egg cell membrane form a “zinc shield” that prevents further sperm entry.

C. A third slow block to polyspermy occurs at the level of the egg cell membrane and involves Juno.

Choose the incorrect statement regarding the Van der Waals interactions & Hydrogen bonds
1. In Van der Waals interactions greater the area of contact the stronger the interaction.
2. In Van der Waals interactions greater the area of contact the weaker  the interaction.
3. Hydrogen bonds Relative strength is inversely proportional to the polarity More polar atoms form weak H bonds.
4. Hydrogen bonds Relative strength is directly proportional to the polarity More polar atoms form stronger H bonds.
