Does A Non Productive Dead Sperm Have Live DNA?
since traits are made up of 2 allele.. and sperm may die within seven days of entering a woman, but it isnt digested. There is still dna in the now, non-productive sperm, in theory, does dna of the two who had sex make a different trait/ chromosome that is now in the body of the woman?
