I love the shape of a sperm, so energetic with a great sense of purpose and a desire to race - which made me think to ask ChatGPT this:

Do all sperm swim the correct way to the egg?

ChatGPT "While sperm are designed to swim towards the egg through a process called chemotaxis, not all sperm cells may swim the correct way. Factors such as abnormalities in sperm structure or motility issues can affect their ability to navigate towards an egg successfully. Only a small percentage of the millions of sperm released during an ejaculation typically reach the egg, highlighting the competive nature of fertilisation."
