prohibits the binding and penetration of other sperm. Once a sperm binds to an egg, a reaction takes place in the egg which "seals" the egg off from other sperm binding. Therefore, only one sperm can penetrate and fertilize as a rule. There may be an exception, but I believe Cory is right when he says that only a diploid set of chromosomes would yeild a proper embryo. I don't claim to be a repro biologist, but I seem to remember this from my graduate work.
