The correct option is B False

Sperm structure:

  1. Sperm consists of three parts - head, middle piece, and tail.
  2. Head contains a haploid nucleus, a modified Golgi complex, and the acrosome which helps the sperm to penetrate the egg cells by secreting sperm lysin.
  3. The middle piece contains mitochondria which provide energy.
  4. The long tail helps the sperm swim in the female tract towards an egg.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
