Broadcast fertilization requires a great excess of egg and sperm gametes because most are wasted. Aquatic animals, such as starfish and sea urchin, mate in this manner.

External fertilization requires a great excess of sperm gametes because most are wasted. In external fertilization, the gametes are released into the external environment, such as water, and there is no guarantee that the sperm will reach and fertilize the egg. To increase the chances of successful fertilization, organisms that rely on external fertilization produce a large number of sperm to compensate for the high rate of wastage.

What happened doing fertilize?

If your question is what happens during fertilization? the answer varies. If your are speaking about sexual reproduction then fertilization occurs when the sperm and egg combine. Basically the first sperm to get to the egg keeps it. The egg hardens to keep excess sperm from entering. (of course some errors can occur which will lead to defects, twins, triplets, etc.) There are many other phases to the reproduction process but fertilization is basically when the egg and sperm combine.
