1) It is important to have a constant supply of large numbers of sperm cells because it takes time for the sperm cells to mature about seventy-four days. So in this way of always having a lot of gametes in constant supply, allows there to be time for sperm cells to mature. It is a good advantage because not all sperm cells make it to the egg for fertilization. So in turn with more mature sperm in a large constant supply this will allow the sperm to have a greater ability to reach the egg for fertilization.
2) Males can sustain producing large amounts of sperm per second over a lifetime because the male sexual organs were made to produce a lot of sperm at all times. Another way that males can sustain sperm production at this rate is immature sperm cells are reabsorbed. These reabsorbed sperm cells are regenerated into new sperm cells later on.
3) Females have a fixed number of gametes because females have a certain window of sexual maturity. Meanwhile, females like males are given more gametes than are actually needed to last complete reproductive lifetime. After a female reaches menopause their bodies go through new hormonal changes causing the follicles left to be not viable anymore.

For this reason the stages of going through the uterus are proving that the sperm cell is well suited to make the journey. When reading the question I thought it was asking how sperm is inefficient through the journey through the uterus, but reading for the second time it is for gamete production. As a result I see that gamete production is inefficient because it produces all of these gametes and then never even get used. Other than the sperm cells get reabsorbed, which makes it a little more
