Polyspermy is very rare in human reproduction. The decline in the numbers of sperm that swim to the oviduct is one of two ways that prevents polyspermy in humans. The other mechanism is the blocking of sperm in the fertilized egg. [4] Only two cases of human polyspermy leading to birth of children have been reported. [5]
The extra "excess" egg is possibly laid either due to exploit the possibility of elevated food abundance (as seen in the blue-footed booby, Sula nebouxii) or due to the chance of sterility in one egg. This is suggested by studies into the common grackle, Quiscalus quiscula [5] and the masked booby, Sula dactylatra. [3]
In poultry farming, in-ovo sexing is a chick sexing method carried out while chicks are still in ovo (Latin for "inside the egg"). There are various methods to determine a chick's sex in the 21-day incubation period before it hatches. In-ovo sexing technology has branched into two categories, invasive and non-invasive.

Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. [1] The result of this union leads to the production of a fertilized egg called a zygote, initiating embryonic development. Scientists discovered the dynamics of human fertilization in the 19th century. [2]
The conservation group Friends of Big Bear Valley, responsible for webcams that provide "Truman Show"-like 24-hour eagle access, posted footage of the third egg’s arrival around 5:45 p.m.
These silly one-liners about yolks, shells and everything else egg-related are so good, we dare you not to crack up at least once while reading them. Unless, of course, you're an egg white , in ...
