it is important for 1 sprem to fertilize a human egg (Ova) in order to start the conception process. If 2 sprem Cells fertilize the 2 DIFFERENT Ova the mother will have "Fraternal Twins".

However, if 2 sperm cells fertilize the SAME Ova (egg) the mother will have "Identical Twins".

I hope that is the answer you were looking for?
