Question

Sperms mature at a temperature higher than that of the human body.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Sperms:

1. Sperms are the male gametes.
2. The process of formation of sperm is called spermatogenesis.
3. Sperm is produced inside the testes.
4. Testes are located outside the abdominal cavity.
5. As a result, sperm are produced at a lower temperature (2-3 degrees Celsius).
6. Hence testes are protected inside the scrotal sac because the body's high temperature prevents sperm maturation.
7. scrotal sac maintains a low temperature which facilitates spermatogenesis.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
