Question

Cell organelle specialized in forming acrosome part of sperm is
Option A- Mitochondrion
Option B- Centriole
Option C- Peroxisome
Option D- Golgi apparatus

Answer 1

Hint: The acrosome is an organelle that is present on the anterior half of the head of a sperm cell. It is a cap-like structure. The acrosome contains protein matrix core and also contains numerous enzymes.

Complete answer:
 The sperm is divided into three parts: the head, midpiece and the tail. The anterior part of the head of the spermatozoa has an organelle named acrosome. This acrosome is a cap-like structure. The main function of the acrosome is to help the sperm pierce through the protective coat of the egg’s protective coat and results in the fusion of plasma membrane of egg and sperm.

Option A- Mitochondrion: The middle piece of the sperm is derived from mitochondrion. These mitochondria produce energy and sperm uses this energy in the midpiece to move.

Option B- Centriole: The neck of the sperm contains centrioles that form the flagellum of the sperm.

Option C- Peroxisome: Human sperm consist of peroxisomal proteins. Human sperm have proteins that are specific to either peroxisomal membrane or the matrix.

Option D- Golgi apparatus: In spermatogenesis, Golgi apparatus is very important for the formation of the acrosome. After the meiosis, golgi bodies assemble at the anterior end of the spermatid nucleus to form the acrosome.

So the correct answer is Option D- Golgi apparatus.

Note: The head of the sperm consisting of nucleus and nucleus have the DNA of the cell. The midpiece has mitochondria in it and the tail helps in the movement of the sperm. The midpiece helps in providing energy and acrosome helps sperm to penetrate the egg.
