Why do gametes produced in large numbers in organisms exhibit external fertilisation?

Answers (1)

In external fertilisation, gametes are affected by their surroundings; they can get blown off by the wind, washed away by water, eaten by predators, etc. and most of the gametes perish before fertilisation. A higher number of gametes increase the probability of fertilisation.
