Which one of the following statements about human sperms is correct?

Options

A. Acrosome has a conicla pointed structure used for piercing and penetrating the egg, resulting in fetilisation
B. The sperm lysins in the acrosom dissolve the egg envelope facilitating fertilisation
C. Acrosome serves as a sensory struture leading the sperm towards the ovum
D. Acrosome serves no particular function

Answer

B

Explanation

Penteration of human sperm is a chemical mechanism. In this, acrosome of sperm undrgoes acrosomal reaction adn releases certain sperm lysins. Which dissolves the egg enevelop locally and make the path, for the ponetration of sperm. Sperm lysins are acidic proteins. These sperm lysins contain a lytic enzyme hyaluronidase that dissolveds the hyaluronic acid polymers in teh intercelluar spaces, whcih holds hte granulosa cells of corona radiata together with corona penetrating enzyme and acrosin.
