Solution
- Sperm is the motile cell in males which is also known as spermatozoa.
- It fuses with the ova to form the zygote.
- It consists of :- 1) Head, 2) Neck, 3) Middle piece and 4) Tail.
- The head of the sperm is a spherical structure with a large nucleus and a dome-shaped acrosome at its tip.
- This acrosome release an enzyme called hyaluronidase which degrades the hyaluronic acid of the ovum and thus, it penetrates the ovum which leads to fertilization of the egg.
