Only one sperm cell can fertilise each ovum. After that no more can get in.
one
A sperm and an egg.
Sperm cells need a tail to get food or energy while the egg isnt alive yet to need emergy......?
Neither. The union of a sperm and egg is called fertilization. Both sperm and egg cells are sex cells that are produced through meiosis.
Gametes (Sex Cells) have adaptions to increase the chances of fertilization and successful development of an embryo. Sperm cells are produced in large numbers to increase the chance of fertilization. They have:-A tail to move them towards the egg cell-Many mitochondria to provide energy to make the approximate 12cm journey to the egg-An acrosome (tip of the head) that releases enzymes to digest and penetrate the egg membrane
the sperm cells have to swim to the ovum and then fertilise it. and the egg cells have to reproduvce the offspring
Because the sperm will die if it doesn't fertilise the egg. Survival at its basics.
sperm
The motility of the sperm helps to progress its movement towards the ovum to fertilise it.
a sperm call job is to find an egg to fertilise
The sperm has to fertilise the egg. sometimes one gets through, others they don't. Obviously if the sperm gets through then the woman is pregnant
Frogs use external fertilisation, this means that the female frog lays thousands of eggs, but then the male sprays sperm on the offspring to fertilise it. So basically the sperm cell and egg cell meet when the male sprays his sperm cells over the eggs.
The tail of a sperm remains with the head until the sperm goes into the egg to fertilise it.
women do not have sperm cellsANSWERwomen have egg cells. men have sperm cells
Only one sperm is required to fertilize an egg. One is both necessary and sufficient in order for an egg to be fertilized. But in order to be confident that one will make it, you need a certain minimum sperm count.
One because the sperm is one cell and the egg is one cell
23 in both Egg Cells and Sperm Cells.
