Who will the father be?
Article Abstract:
A number of factors determine which male sperm will father a child in cases of heterospermic insemination. Experiments with rats and rabbits indicate that timing of insemination, number of sperm deposited, external factors such as exposure to toxicity and kinds of storage for sperm in the case of artificial insemination are factors which favor one sperm cell over another. The innate fertility of the male is also an important factor.
