Multiple Sperm Fertilization & Pregnancy: A Medical Explanation


Question
So this does not pertain to my life AT ALL but i was just curious, if a girl has sex with two guys at once, and she got pregnant would the child have both males genes? I'm sorry that was a really odd question but it has had me wondering about it for a while.

Thanks!!

oh, and I'm from South Carolina

Answer
Hello,

No.  Only ONE sperm can fertilize an egg (basic biology).
