Hence for the species to propagate, the male would need to increase the chance that an encounter with a female would result in successful fertilization; and therefore, the male needs a heightened degree of fertility.
Successful fertilization and normal embryonic development are two main components of fertility.
These biological processes all affect fertility through the development of germ cells and their ability for successful fertilization.
For example, changes resulting from the production of autoantibodies, which decrease fertility either by suppressing ovulation or by reducing the chance of successful fertilization.
"Successful fertilization occurs when scallops are released into the water column close together," he said.
Successful fertilization has been problematic in the past because the density has been so low, he said.
For the sake of his future son, for the sake of the successful fertilization of his wife's next egg cell, he continued to pursue his plan.
But if there's competition, more sperm and larger testes are necessary to have a chance at successful fertilization.
Applying artificial fertilization is an alternative way to establish full- and halfsib families for the breeding programme, but high-quality gametes are critical for successful fertilization.
In this review we focus on the involvement of processes that occur at the sperm plasma membrane in the sequence of events that lead to successful fertilization.
In flowering plants, a successful fertilization event results in seed formation in which an ovule becomes a seed, the egg cell becomes a zygote, the central cell forms the endosperm, and the integuments develop into the seed coat.
