Which ions activate cyclin-dependent kinases, following fertilization?

Which ions activate cyclin-dependent kinases, following fertilization? Correct Answer Ca2+

The rise in cytoplasmic calcium concentration following fertilization triggers a diverse array of events. Activation of cyclin-dependent kinases that drive the zygote towards first mitotic division is one such event.
