Vedclass · Answer

(B) The human sperm consists of a head,neck,middle piece,and tail. The head contains a haploid nucleus and is covered by a cap-like structure called the acrosome. The acrosome is derived from the Golgi apparatus and contains hydrolytic enzymes collectively known as sperm lysins (e.g.,hyaluronidase). These enzymes are responsible for dissolving the protective layers of the ovum (corona radiata and zona pellucida),thereby facilitating the entry of the sperm into the egg during the process of fertilization.

Column $I$ (Part of sperm)	Column $II$ (Component) and Column $III$ (Function)
$A$. Head	$Q$. Acrosome - $Z$. Secretes penetrating enzyme
$B$. Neck	$P$. Centrioles - $X$. Helps in formation of synkaryon spindle
$C$. Middle piece	$R$. Nebenkern - $Y$. Provides energy for sperm movement
$D$. Tail	$S$. Axial filament - $W$. Whiplash movement in female reproductive tract
