The correct Answer is:
To determine the truthfulness of the three statements related to the human male reproductive system, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement **Statement (i):** "Middle piece of spermatozoon is also termed as power house of spermatozoon." - The spermatozoon (sperm) is composed of three main parts: the head, the middle piece, and the tail. - The middle piece is rich in mitochondria, which are organelles responsible for energy production. - The energy produced by mitochondria is crucial for the motility of the sperm, allowing it to swim towards the ovum. **Conclusion:** This statement is **True (T)**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement **Statement (ii):** "Vas deferens joins a duct from seminal vesicle and form vasa efferentia." - The vas deferens is a duct that transports sperm from the testes. - It does not join a duct from the seminal vesicle to form vasa efferentia. Instead, the vas deferens receives secretions from the seminal vesicle and joins with it to form the ejaculatory duct, which then opens into the urethra. - Vasa efferentia are actually the ducts that carry sperm from the testes to the epididymis, not related to the vas deferens in this context. **Conclusion:** This statement is **False (F)**. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement **Statement (iii):** "Semen is a collection of secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper's glands and sperms from testes." - Semen is indeed a fluid that is ejaculated during copulation. - It consists of sperm cells produced in the testes and seminal plasma, which is a mixture of secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and Cowper's glands (bulbo-urethral glands). - The seminal plasma provides a medium for the sperm and contains nutrients and enzymes. **Conclusion:** This statement is **True (T)**. ### Final Summary of Statements - Statement (i): True (T) - Statement (ii): False (F) - Statement (iii): True (T) ### Correct Option The correct option indicating the truthfulness of the statements is **Option A** (i and iii are true, ii is false). ---
