Spermatozoon have something like a tail and somewhat resemble a tadpole. They will swim into the body and if they locate an egg, they will begin to speed up and swim more erratically. Enzymes will be released and the sperm and the egg will fuse to create a zygote. The zygote is what later becomes a fetus. If the spermatozoon do not locate an egg, after a time they will become inactive and naturally flushed from the body.

∙ 14y agoThe head of the sperm contains enzymes which it uses to disolve the zona pellucida (the outer protective barrier) of the ovum. Once a sperm is successful in penetrating this barrier, the egg electrically depolarizes in order to repel any remaining sperm which remain outside the ovum trying to get in. (In the rare event that multiple sperm cells do get through, fraternal twins can result.) The head of the sperm, after it has used its enzymes to gain entry to the egg, essentially opens up and merges its genetic material with that of the ovum and the process of meiois can begin.

∙ 14y agothe sperm swims like little minnows trying to find an egg. Once it finds an egg, it burrows inside and fertilizes the egg, resulting in a human love child....it will be amazing, But only if you are prepared.

∙ 14y agoa barrier forms around the egg which stops any more sperm from getting into the egg. then the egg goes to the fallopian tube (oviduct) and implants itself into the uterus

If the guy is healthy, you get his nutrients... as long as the taste of the sperm is ok to you, nothing to worry.

Why only one sperm cell can fertilized an ovum?
Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.
What happens when two different males sperm meet?
Nothing happens between the sperm. Each tries to fertilise the ovum.
What happens when sperm cell penetrates an ovum?
mommy gets mad
What happens when a egg and sperm unite?
The sperm unites with the Ovum in the womb, to form a zygote, which is the beginning of the Embryo.
How entry of additional sperms is blocked into an ovum?
after the sperm enters the egg the egg undergoes certain changes in its outer layers preventing any more sperm from entering
What happens to the other sperm?
when one sperm penetrates the membrane of an ovum. it will tickens and secrete an enzyms that digest other sperms
What do you call the fertilized egg cell?
A fertilized cell is when a mature ovum (egg) is fertilized by a sperm. It becomes a fertilized cell. The sperm enters the ovum and the tail drops off. Then mitosis occurs and the cell continues to develop.
Describe what happens to sperm in the uterus?
At conception, the sperm enters the egg and the DNA of the sperm merges with the DNA of the Egg cell.
What happens when a sperm and an ovum fused together?

What is a Sperm Production and what is a Ovum Production?
Sperm production is the creation of sperm in the testies of the bull. Ovum production is the creation of eggs in the ovaries of the cow.
How much larger than a sperm cell is an ovum?
assuming you mean a sperm and not a cingular cell of a sperm, it is about 1/18th the size of an ovum.
What can the ovum become if it joins a sperm?
When the ovum and sperm come together they become a fertlized egg also known as a zygote.
