They die and eventually come out with the discharge.

∙ 6y agoThe sperm's journey is approx 15cm long.. so, from the 200Million sperms that get ejaculated, only 2Million make it to the cervix because the rest get destroyed by acidic fluids inside the vagina.
Then, from the 2 million sperm entering the cervix, only 1 million make it into the uterus. The others are stopped by gooey mucus, or swim into dead-end channels inside the walls of the cervix.
So, after all the hurdles, in the end, the amount of sperms reaching the egg is reduced to 200, & out of those, only 1 enters the egg to fertilize it. The rest are pushed away by the zona reaction, which makes the fertilized egg impermeable to additional sperm.

Is many sperm feritize one egg?
No, typically only one sperm fertilizes one egg during sexual reproduction in humans. However, in rare cases, multiple sperm can fertilize the same egg, resulting in a condition called polyspermy, which often leads to developmental abnormalities and is not viable for long-term survival.
Do female dischagre sperms?
On average Femaled discharge one ovum.
A sperm carrying a Y chromosome can produce a?
Male zygote if it fertilizes the female sex cell, ovum
How is sperm cell related to human sexuality?
The male's sperm cell combines with the female egg or ovum; fertilizes it and is the start of embryo formation.
How does sperm move through the female reproductive system?
after intercourse,millions of the sperms get deposited in the vagina...with the peristaltic movement of the sperms and the cilia present they move through the cervix..only thousands of sperms will be alive and reaches the uterus and only one sperm penetrates the ovum
Can sperms fertilize the ovum when the ovum is dead?
No it can not.
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
Which is that sperm that fertilize the ovum?
The luckiest of all sperms makes it alive and fuses with the ovum.

What is the function of hyaluronidase?
it is produced by sperms to help penetrate the ovum and fertilize it
What two types of sperm result if nondisjunction of sex chromosomes occur during meiosis 1?
if nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 1 then the resultant sperms are XY carrying sperm n sperm without sex chromosome............ if XY carrying sperm fertilizes with normal X carrying ovum it results in XXY abnormal zygote if sperm without sex chromosome fertilizes with normal X carrying ovum it results in XO abnormal zygote
What are the chances of pregnancy off of a drop of sperm?
Sperm contains 60 to 120 million/ ml of Spermatozoa. 16 drops makes a ml and still you have millions of sperms in a drop of sperm and only one of them fertilizes the ovum.(Though number of others, trying to enter the ovum, indirectly help the one, by liberating various enzymes, witch they liberate in attempt to penetrate the ovum.) So a drop is more than sufficient !
What a sperm cell of ovum is called?
There's no such thing. The sperm cell comes from a boy. Ovum is another word for egg cell which is in a girl. When a sperm cell finds an "ovum" it fertilizes it and it travels to the uterus to develop eventually into a baby.
What does the sperm do?
The motility of the sperm helps to progress its movement towards the ovum to fertilise it.
A sperm carrying a Y chromosome can produce a?
Male zygote if it fertilizes the female sex cell, ovum
What is a ovum in flowers?
The ovum is the egg cell that is located in the ovules in the female part of the flower. As pollen falls on the stigma, it is carried down the style into the ovary. In the ovary the pollen fertilizes an ovum in the ovules to produce a seed.
