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.

Experts in deer ecology generally agree that population sizes of deer that live in temperate climates are limited by winter snow. The deer congregate in ?yarding? areas under evergreen trees because venturing out to feed in winter is energetically too expensive when snowfall depths accumulate to above 40 cm. Deer often stay yarded until the spring thaw. Snow depth over 40 inches for more than 60 days results in high mortality due to starvation.  This observation best illustrates which of the following principles about factors that limit distribution of organisms?
