maternal determination of dorsal/ventral axis, oocyte, soma encoded

Polarization of the oocyte along the dorsal-ventral axis, by a gene product encoded by somatic cells.

Polarization of the oocyte along its anterior-posterior axis.

pole plasm RNA localization (sensu Insecta)

The processes by which RNA is transported to, or maintained in, the oocyte pole plasm.

regulation of pole plasm oskar mRNA localization

regulation of oocyte pole plasm oskar mRNA localization

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the processes by which oskar mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, the oocyte pole plasm.

pole plasm protein localization (sensu Insecta)

The processes by which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, the oocyte pole plasm.

negative regulation of oskar mRNA translation

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate that oskar mRNAs are effectively translated into protein.

The discharge, by sperm, of a single, anterior secretory granule following their attachment to the zona pellucida surrounding the oocyte.

The infiltration by sperm of the zona pellucida to reach the oocyte. The process involves digestive enzymes from a modified lysosome called the acrosome, situated at the head of the sperm.

The binding and fusion of a sperm, having penetrated the zona pellucida, with the plasma membrane of the oocyte. Binding occurs at the posterior (post-acrosomal) region of the sperm head.

The process whereby the egg becomes metabolically active, initiates protein and DNA synthesis and undergoes structural changes to its cortex and/or cytoplasm.

The merging of two pronuclei in a fertilized egg to fuse and produce a single zygotic genome.

regulation of progression through mitotic cell cycle

regulation of mitotic cell cycle progression

Any process that modulates the rate or extent of progress through the mitotic cell cycle.

regulation of progression through preblastoderm mitotic cell cycle

regulation of preblastoderm mitotic cell cycle progression

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the progression through the preblastoderm mitotic cell cycle.
