Question

What gives sperm motility?


Open in App
Solution

Sperm:

  1. The sperm is the mature male gamete that fertilises an egg to form an embryo.
  2. The motility of sperms is due to the presence of the tail of the sperm.
  3. The whipping back and forth movement of the tail propels the sperm to move forward in the female reproductive tract.
  4. The numerous mitochondria found in the middle piece provide the energy required for the movement of the tail.
