The number of semen delivered by a male determines the number of babies the female can conceive.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question during an interview.Enquiry is from Human Reproduction topic in chapter Human Reproduction of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (b) False

The EXPLANATION: Males usually release millions of sperm at each coitus. However, the female tract prevents most of them from reaching the fallopian tube with only ONE sperm being able to fertilize the egg. However, in rare cases where female releases two eggs (one from each ovary), there’s a probability of conceiving TWINS. THUS it is the number of eggs and not the number of sperm that determines the number of BABIES that the female can conceive.
