Answer:less eggs

Millions of sperm

Viability

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

limited number of eggs; limitless sperm

best genetic quality

Step-by-step explanation:

Females generally produce a limited amount of eggs. This is as a result of the structure and arrangement of female reproductive organs. On the other hand, males produce an unlimited amount of sperms. This is also a result of the reproductive organs in males. However, females must choose the males with the best genetic quality to produce surviving offspring.
