Question

In fertalization why are the male gametes produced in large amount than the female?

Answer 1

because  when meiosis occurs in a chick all of the cell's organell's goes into one egg the other 3 cells that are produced die within a matter of hours

Answer 2

That is true, but you can also think of it as a survival technique that has evolved over time.  Just like many sperm are produced to get to only one egg, many pollen grains are produced to get to one egg.  It increases the chances of actually getting fertilization.
