← Human Body & HealthWhy does polyspermy generally fail to produce viable human embryos after in vitro fertilization?
A)It prevents pronuclei formation
B)It increases the sperm's motility
C)It reduces cortical granule exocytosis
D)It causes abnormal chromosome segregation✓
💡 Explanation
Polyspermy leads to more than two sets of chromosomes in the zygote, because multiple sperm fertilize the egg. This disrupts the normal chromosome segregation during cell division, therefore resulting in non-viable embryos, rather than enhancing motility or preventing pronuclei formation.
