Ms. S and Mr. J are having difficulty conceiving a child. Ms. S ovulates every 28 days, and Mr. J sperm count is normal. If we could observe Mr. J sperm about an hour after ejaculation, however, we’d see that they appear to be moving only sluggishly. When Mr. J sperm eventually encounter Ms. S oocyte, they appear to be incapable of generating an adequate acrosomal reaction. Which process has probably gone wrong?
