Question

Why do only male gametes have a tail?

• A. To be motile
• B. To go to the egg to fertilise it
• C. It is light weight
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Male gametes are sperms. They are small, light-weight, motile and are optimized such that they can travel and reach up to the egg in order to fertilize it. As the female gametes are nonmotile. A motile male gamete is needed very much to accomplish the process of fertilization.
