Well, the female has most of the cytoplasm. An very conservative approximation is the egg is a sphereoid of ~150um diameter and the sperm about 5um, a factor of 30, making the volumetric ratio a 900:1; or, there's a lot more shit in there to influence what happens.

    Well, at least I chose the sex (meaning male or female)

I hope that everyone just assumed this is what you meant, and you didn't have to qualify in the parentheses. If any of you didn't, then you should seek psychological help...immediately.
