The Egg and The Sperm

Amanda Ongley

While medical textbooks view the egg as simply sitting on a shelf and degrading until their chance at fertilization, but this is not wholly a bad thing. with this process of degradation the most genetically superior eggs are the ones that survive to be fertilized to make the best babies, while thousands of sperm are produced essentially on the spot The fastest one wins, but that one may not always be the best, as is the case with some nerds and jocks.
Even though both the sperm and egg die without each other, the sperm life period is much shorter. The egg survives inside the family body for decades, where the sperm only survives only a day.
No one reproductive cell is better than the other, but they are equal.
