<span>Only one sperm normally fuses with an egg because if more than one sperm fuses, through a process called polyspermy, development of the zygote usually stops.


</span>
<span>Fertilization of one egg by two sperm is possible, but the resulting zygote is almost never viable because such a zygote would have three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two. This condition, called triploidy, is usually incompatible with life. Those rare triploid infants that do survive to term have severe and multiple birth defects and rarely live more than a few days. </span>

sp2606 [1]

Antagonistic is the term for the phenomenon that occurs when two hormones present together to produce effects that are weaker than the effects of either one acting alone.

An antagonism, in ecology is an association between the organisms in which one benefits at the expense of the other. In Biology, it can be defined as A biological response to the exposure to multiple substances which is very less than would be predicted if the known effects of the individual substances were added together. For example, Your little sister or brother benefiting by disturbing you while you study.

10. Air enters the body through the mouth or nose and passes through the pharynx and larynx. Then it travels down the trachea and branches through the bronchi into the two lungs. In the lungs, small alveoli are the site of gas exchange where carbon dioxide diffuses into the lungs for exhalation, while oxygen from the air diffuses into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli to be pumped throughout the body.
