Solution
Sperm:
Sperm is produced by the male reproductive system in the seminiferous tubules of each testis.
Yes, sperm has a
head
with an extended
nucleus
and an
acrosome
covering it
The
DNA
in the head of the sperm is what creates a new person when it is joined with the DNA in the egg.
The
acrosome,
which is located at the tip of the sperm head, allows the sperm to penetrate the egg.
The
mitochondria
in the middle piece provide the energy that the tail requires to move.
