Question 15 • FL-2000310-Biology 1

Which describes the function of the human sperm cell’s structure?

Answer
A
The nucleus contains all 46 chromosomes.
B
The tail allows it to travel to the egg.
C
The head contains a basic substance that counteracts acidic substances in the vagina.
D
The sperm’s structure allows it to live for two weeks in the vagina.

Explanation

The sperm cell’s tail, or flagellum, moves back and forth to propel the cell toward the egg. Therefore, “The tail allows it to travel to the egg” is correct. The sperm nucleus contains 23 chromosomes, not 46, and sperm do not live for two weeks in the vagina.
