You have engineered a molecule that binds to the bindin-like protein on human sperm and can be administered to males.Which of the following would be a consequence of such a drug?
A)Fertilization would increase significantly as the sperm would bind to the egg-cell receptor with greater affinity.
B)Fertilization would not take place as the sperm would not be able to bind to the egg-cell receptor.
C)The sperm would not be able to mature,but could still bind the egg-cell receptor.
D)The gradient of bindin-like protein would be abnormal,resulting in a lack of organogenesis.
