The hypothesis of this study is that spermatozoa-ZP binding interaction plays a functional role in selecting fertilization-competent spermatozoa with superior fertilizing ability and genetic quality <br>To test the proposed hypothesis, the main objectives of this study are: 1. To establish spermatozoa-ZP incubation assays to isolate ZP-bound and -unbound spermatozoa 2. To establish the relationship between the ZP-binding ability and genetic quality of spermatozoa 3. To establish the ZP- binding ability of spermatozoa and expression levels of protein markers 4. To establish a hybrid AI- based modelforthemorphologicpredictionofhumanspermatozoawithZP-bindingability
