Typically, when sperm enters the female reproductive tract, millions are released, but only one sperm is required to fertilize an egg. In a normal scenario, out of the millions of sperm, only a few hundred reach the vicinity of the egg, and usually just a single sperm penetrates the egg’s outer layer to achieve fertilization. The process is highly competitive, and the vast majority of sperm do not reach the egg at all.

What hat happens if two sperms go into an egg?

If two sperm penetrate an egg, a condition known as polyspermy occurs. This usually results in an abnormal fertilization, leading to an imbalance in the genetic material, which typically causes the embryo to be nonviable and unable to develop properly. In many organisms, including humans, mechanisms exist to prevent polyspermy, such as changes in the egg's membrane after the first sperm enters. If polyspermy does occur, it often results in failed implantation or miscarriage.


What is the purpose of production of so many sperms when only one has to fertilize the egg?
