If a sperm successfully penetrates a human oocyte but the pronuclei fail to fuse during fertilization, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

Failure of pronuclei fusion prevents the combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes into a single diploid nucleus; because this combination is essential for cell division and differentiation, embryonic development is arrested. Therefore, development ceases, rather than continuing normally or altering other processes.
