𧬠The Egg Decides: A New Chapter in Reproduction
Forget the race β itβs not always the fastest s***m that wins.
Recent research reveals that the egg plays a powerful and selective role in fertilization.
π§² It releases chemical signals to attract s***m β but not just any s***m.
This subtle process, called cryptic female choice, means the egg may actually prefer some s***m over others β even choosing different s***m from the same partner.
Why?
Because itβs not just about speed.
Itβs about compatibility, health, and the best chance for strong offspring.
