Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Despite a large number of sperm (100-300 million) being released during ejaculation, only a small number of sperm actually make it to the ovum. Factors such as the distance from the ovum, acidity levels in the vagina, and obstacles such as cervical mucus and other barriers reduce the number of sperm that reach the egg. It is estimated that only a few hundred sperm actually make it to the ovum during sexual intercourse.
