  1. fertilization membrane

    A fertilization membrane is a structure that forms around a fertilized egg, especially in many species of marine invertebrates and various plants. The membrane results from changes in the egg's outer layer following the fusion of the sperm and egg cells. It serves as a protective barrier that prevents other sperm from penetrating the egg and causing abnormal numbers of chromosomes, ensuring only one sperm cell fertilizes the egg.
