SPERM COMPETITION. “In vertebrate and invertebrate species millions of sperm cells compete for fertilization with the ova or egg cell. Usually the largest, longest, fastest and physiologically most active sperm cells win the race and defective sperm cells are sorted out. Sperm competition thus represents a powerful selective force to guarantee fertilization and reproductive success.”
