A member asked:
In fertilization, are multiple sperm needed to breakdown the layer of the egg or only 1 can do the job ? i know it only takes one, but its luck, not the strongest or fastest. why millions then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It takes only one fast one. Millions are released to increase the chances of fertilization, since most don't make their way to the egg.
