eli5 – Does “best sperm wins the race” actualy change anything?

553 views

I think we all know that the best, fastest sperm wins the race to become the child whatever whatever. My question is does it actually make a difference for the kid. Would there be any difference if it was just a random one, not the first one? I’m wondering if the sperm cell being first has any correlation to the human being more functional or anything.

Marginally. If the sperm is deformed and can’t swim good, then that would indicate something is wrong with the DNA package it is trying to deliver to the egg.
