How many sperm can be fertilized an ovum?
The exact number of egg cells that can be fertilized is exactly the same as the number of egg cells that are available. For example, in a salmon, about 7,000,000. In a human, normally one, occasionally two to three, rarely up to five and very, very rarely up to seven. Just because they 'can be' fertilized though does not mean that they 'will be' fertilized!
