Unlike most other arthropods, the E. sinensis egg has no micropyle. In the process of fertilization, a great number of sperms attach themselves to the egg, but only several of them penetrate the egg with one of them finally fertilizing it. Fertilization in E. sinensis is achieved not by fusion but by association.展开更多
