(a) Draw a diagram of a human sperm. Label any four parts and write their functions.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
A diagram of a human sperm should include the following parts:
- Head: Contains the nucleus with genetic material.
- Acrosome: Contains enzymes that help in penetrating the egg.
- Midpiece: Contains mitochondria to provide energy for movement.
- Tail: Propels the sperm forward for fertilization.
