First, we'll take a look at the gametes involved—their structure and how they are transported. Then, you'll learn the four major steps of fertilization: capacitation, binding, fusion, and the formation of the zygote.  Table of Contents: 0:00 Intro 1:00 Gametes: Structure & Transport 6:40 Capacitation (Priming) 7:40 Binding 10:35 Fusion 13:07 Formation of The Zygote 15:45 Twins 17:08 Summary Lecture Source: Widmaier, E.
