This phenomenon is known as polyspermy and is usually prevented by mechanisms in the egg that block additional sperm from entering once one has already fertilized it.

What is the purpose of sperm cell's tail?
It enables the sperm to swim towards the egg so that it can fertilise it. ------------------------------------- Sperm have tails because they need to be able to swim to the egg. They wiggle their tail which helps them to move along and make it to their destination. ----------------------------------------- Tail with the Sperm is just like tail with the fish. so tail makes the sperm to move along the path. it works like a flagella in bacteria. ------------------------------------------------ it is to aid the sperm to swim from the point of ejaculation to the egg. Once it enters the egg the tail breaks off. -------------------------------------------------- The sperm cell has a long tail in order to propel the head of the sperm, which carries all the DNA information, towards the egg. It is simply to help the sperm reach the egg. Once the sperm reaches the egg, the tail is naturally absorbed through the body's tissues. ------------------------------------------------------
