What of the following would NOT be a method that would prevent one species' sperm from fertilizing another species' egg?
A)The chemical and other behavioral cues for mating are unlikely to lead to insemination by a male of another species.
B)The reactions between the sperm acrosome and the surface of the egg are generally species-specific.
C)Any successful fertilization would require a successful match of chromosomes and genes to produce a viable zygote.
D)The chemical elements of the layers of the egg match the chemical elements of the sperm acrosome.
E)The joining of two differing sets of chromosomes does not provide the proper genetic information for the development of an embryo.

Question

The chemical elements of the layers of the egg matching the chemical elements of the sperm acrosome would not prevent one species' sperm from fertilizing another species' egg because this does not address the issue of species-specific recognition and compatibility between the sperm and egg at the molecular level. A, B, C, and E all address specific mechanisms that prevent interspecies fertilization.
