Concept information

Preferred term

pronucleus  

Note

  • Decondensation of the sperm head begins 1 h after zona penetration. Male pronucleus formation occurs simultaneously with disappearance of the nuclear membrane, decondensation of the chromosomes and reformation of the pronuclear membrane from oocyte endoplasmic reticulum which is supported by action of growth factors. This coincides with decondensation of the maternal chromatin and the formation of the female pronucleus. (Source : INRA)
