Solution

The correct option is D

Golgi Complex


The correct option is D.

Explanation for the correct option:

  1. Acrosomes are produced during the process of spermatogenesis by the Golgi apparatus.
  2. The acrosome is a cap-like structure that is present at the anterior end of the head of the sperm.
  3. The Golgi complex is an important organelle as it helps in the initial stages of spermatogenesis.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

  1. As membrane-bound cell organelles, mitochondria create the majority of the chemical energy needed to power a cell's metabolic processes.
  2. Numerous mitochondria located in the middle piece of the sperm give the sperm the energy it needs to move.

Option B:

  1. The nucleus is the membrane-enclosed organelle in a cell that contains the chromosomes.
  2. A nucleus containing a haploid set of chromosomes is present in sperm.

Option C:

  1. A chromosome is a long DNA molecule that contains all or part of an organism's genetic material.
  2. Human sperm contains 23 chromosomes.
  3. The X or Y chromosome, which determines the sex of the resulting kid, is also carried by the sperm cells.

Final answer: Golgi Complex takes part in Acrosome Synthesis.
