Explanation:
The structure of a sperm cell is divided into four main components: the head, middle piece, acrosome, and tail.
- A. Head - IV (Genetic material): The head of the sperm contains the nucleus, which houses the genetic material (DNA). This is the information that will combine with the genetic material of the egg cell during fertilization to form a zygote.
- B. Middle piece - III (Energy): The middle piece contains mitochondria, which produce energy in the form of ATP. This energy is crucial for the movement of the sperm tail, enabling motility.
- C. Acrosome - I (Enzymes): The acrosome is a cap-like structure covering the head of the sperm. It contains enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the outer layers of the egg during fertilization.
- D. Tail - II (Sperm motility): The tail of the sperm is responsible for its motility. It propels the sperm forward, allowing it to swim through the female reproductive tract to reach the egg.
