Question

Millions of sperms are produced but only one sperm fertilizes the egg. Is it true? Explain.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. A mature sperm cell, also known as spermatozoa, is a small, tadpole-shaped structure that is around $2.5\mu \mathrm{m}$ in diameter and $60\mu \mathrm{m}$ in length.
2. A zygote with more than two sets of chromosomes will not be viable; so, just one sperm must fuse with one egg to ensure that the baby has only two sets of chromosomes.

Final answer: The given statement is true.
