Sperm with an altered morphology will have difficulties fertilizing eggs. In the case of amorphous sperm with two heads, they can never fertilize healthy embryos and should always be discarded in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) process.
Because they have two heads, the genetic load of these sperm will also be double. As a result, if these sperm fertilize an egg, triploid embryos would be formed, which would stop their development within a few days.
