What is the reproductive difference between sea urchins and mammals is?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The sea urchin egg completes meiosis prior to fertilization, but meiosis in mammals is completed after fertilization

  2. Sea urchin eggs and sperm are of equal size, but human eggs are much bigger than mammal’s sperm

  3. Sea urchins, but not mammals, have a need to block polyspermy, because only in sea urchins can there be more than one source of sperm to fertilize the eggs

  4. Sea urchin zygotes get their mitochondria from the sperm, but mammals zygote get their mitochondria from the egg.
