If more than one sperm cell were able to enter an egg, what might be the result?

Well, its kind of impossible because as soon as a sperm enters the egg chemical reaction forms a "hard shell" so another sperm can't enter. However, if this were to happen- there would be 1.5 more genetic info than that needed and the extra chromosomes would cause many problems. The fertilized egg wouldn't function properly and the embryo wouldn't develop. THE EGG IS DAMAGEDD
