Men make millions of sperm in hopes that one will make it, because the vast majority won't. Some will not swim correctly, some will swim in the wrong direction back out of the vagina, others will swim into the wrong fallopian tube, etc. So a lot is needed to ensure that one gets there.
In order to be considered fertile, a man needs to have about 40 million sperm per ejaculation.
What else can I help you with?
What are the advantages of sperms that can move about?
They can move about 'swim' and find an egg to fertilize.
What does flagellum in a sperm cell do?
it makes the sperms move to the egg to fertilize it.
What is the sperms job?
a sperm call job is to find an egg to fertilise
How much semen does it take to fertilize an egg?
Only a small amount of semen, containing millions of sperm cells, is needed to fertilize an egg. Only one sperm cell is required to fertilize an egg, and the rest are typically blocked by the egg's protective barrier.
How many sperms does an egg cell normally need in order to become fertilize?
one
How many sperms race toward the egg?
During fertilization, hundreds of millions of sperm are released in the vagina but only a few hundred make it to the egg in the fallopian tube. However, only one sperm will successfully penetrate and fertilize the egg.
What is the purpose of production of so many sperms when only one has to fertilize the egg?
Because most of the sperm cells die on their journey to the egg.
Why do you think millions of sperm are released to fertilize one egg?
Releasing millions of sperm increases the likelihood of successful fertilization by increasing the chances of one sperm reaching and penetrating the egg. This strategy helps ensure that at least one healthy sperm will successfully fertilize the egg.
How long it take to get rid of sperms in stoamch?

Where do the sperm and egg join together?
This normally happens in fallopian tube. Many sperms are needed to dissolve the outer coat of the egg. Only one can penetrate the egg to fertilize the same.
Why is there a need for so many sperms to try to fuse with the egg cell?
because some of the sperm cells might be in-active therefore the healthiest one will fertilize the egg
Can a sperm that has not reached full maturity of seventy days fertilize an egg?
Yes, sperm that has not reached full maturity can still fertilize an egg. While fully mature sperm may have better motility and function, immature sperm can still possess the ability to fertilize an egg.
