The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote. A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. The process whereby the egg becomes metabolically active, initiates protein and DNA synthesis and undergoes structural changes to its cortex and/or cytoplasm. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state of calcium ions within the cytosol of a cell or between the cytosol and its surroundings. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The process that increases the concentration of calcium ions in the cytosol after fertilization or the physiological activation of an egg. Any process that increases the concentration of calcium ions in the cytosol. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cortical granule exocytosis by directing movement of calcium ions (Ca2+) into the cytosol. A change in the morphology or behavior of a cell resulting from exposure to an activating factor such as a cellular or soluble ligand.
