Question
Why is zona pellucid retained around the egg till it reaches the uterus?
Advertisements
Solution
Zona pellucida prevents the implantation of the blastocyst at an abnormal site such as a fallopian tube and it keeps trophoblast cells unexposed till it reaches the uterus. Hence, zona pellucida is retained around the egg until it reaches the uterus.
