Is it true that a female only produce 1 egg in a month whereas a male can produce thousands of sperm?

Answer 1

See female produce ova only once in month or in year.....
but for producing a child a male must product approximately 5 lacs of sperm in one sexual contact.... becoz most of the sperm dies due to the acidity of female genital passage.
for fertilization only one sperm is sufficient........ and normally ova allowed only one sperm to enter.........

approximately 200 sperms able to reach upto ovum but only one is allowed to penetrate in ova generally.

If two sperm fertilize egg then it results in disorders like klinfelters syndrome and many more depend on condition.

Answer 2

I dont think it produce 1 egg in a month but only release 1 egg per month. Even male can produce thousands of sperm but only one sperm can get the egg and produce a baby. So what the use of a thousands of sperm when the egg dont like all those thousands of sperm. Female still had the choice.

Answer 3

This is true only for human females, who have a contiguous menstrual cycle that usually spans 28 days. At mid-cycle, ovulation occurs; when an egg matures in the ovary of the female, and becomes ready for fertilization. The maturation of an egg, once every round of the menstrual cycle, begins at puberty and lasts until menopause. Sometimes, however, both ovaries may produce a mature egg, and both may get fertilized... thereby producing fraternal twins.
The human male is also fertile from puberty, but sperm production doesn't follow a similar cyclical pattern. There is constant production of sperm. And, for each sperm that fertilizes an ovum, millions of sperms are produced. Whether a biological clock operates in sperm production, is widely debated. Some medical researchers believe that human males gradually lose their capacity to produce healthy sperms with age. This, however, remains to be conclusively proven.

With most other organisms (e.g. other mammals), the female undergoes the estrous cycle, and produces many eggs at a single time point. Often, this is referred to as the "heat" period.

Answer 4

It's been a while, but correct me if I'm way off base. As a baby, females have their number of eggs all ready pre-determined in the ovaries. When puberty occurs, the female hormones in charge of ovulation (FSH - follicle stimulating hormone) stimulates one egg to mature and be released during ovulation. Sometimes two can mature and be ovulated (that's why you can have fraternal twins (non-identical). Men produce sperm all the time.

Answer 5

Yes...when a woman is born she has all the eggs she will ever have. She releases one per month normally....on a rare occasion there may be two released and if she gets pregnant that month fraternal twins (not identical) result. A male makes sperm continually.

Answer 6

Oh yeah - If ladies starts producing millions of eggs, the world would be over populated in 9 months.

Answer 7

Yes.

Thousands of sperm a day, to be precise. :)
It's a bit unfair, I guess, that men are ready to make a baby anytime during their life starting from their teens, but women only till their 50s.

Answer 8

yes unless given pill to make more of a cance for contraception

Answer 9

pure bull,who ever told you that needs biology classes

Answer 10

it's true unless you take pills to stop
