Viviana Bishop · Answer 2

Answer: B. Two different sperm both fertilizing the same egg.

Explanation:

Fertilization is a process which involves the fusion of haploid gametes such as a sperm from male and an egg from female to develop a diploid zygote either inside the body of female mate (internal fertilization) or outside the body of female mate (external fertilization).

B. Two different sperm both fertilization the same egg. is the correct option. As only one sperm can fertilize the egg. The sperm brings changes in the external membrane of the egg which prevents the fusion with other sperm.
