A head of a sperm has a membrane-bounded acrosome filled with enzymes. When released, these enzymes digest away the jelly coat around the egg, and the acrosome extrudes a filament that attaches to a receptor on the vitelline envelope. Now the sperm nucleus enters and fuses with the egg nucleus, and the resulting zygote begins to divide. The vitelline envelope becomes the fertilization envelope, which prohibits any more sperm from entering the egg
