Their sperm membrane will become glued to the outside of the egg and remain there

Their sperm's DNA will be sucked inside the cell while the rest of the sperm will fall off of the egg's surface

The egg produces chemicals that push other sperm away from the egg

The zona pellucida hardens trapping sperm inside

The egg cell membrane changes preventing sperm from attaching to it

The zona pellucida hardens so no more sperm can enter
