3. All sperms except the one nearest to the ovum lose their tails
4. Cells of corona radiata trap all the sperms except one

Fertilisation in humans is practically feasible only if?

3. the sperms are transported into the cervix within 48 hrs of the release of the ovum in the uterus
4.  the sperms are transported into the vagina just after the release of the ovum in the fallopian tube
