who cannot produce an ovum
who cannot retain the foetus inside uterus
who cervical canal is too narrow to allow passage for the sperms
who cervical canal is too narrow to allow passage for the sperms
What happens during fertilisation in humans after many sperms reach close to the ovum?
Secretions of acrosome helps one sperm enter cytoplasm of ovum through zona pellucida
All sperms excepts the one nearest to the ovum lose their tails
