Solution

Sperm:

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