Summary Introduction
To write:
The sperm contains a chromosome and a(n) vesicle containing enzymes needed for fertilization.
Introduction:
In a day, around 100-300 million sperms are produced in the testes. A sperm has three parts − a distinctive bulb-like head, a short and cylindrical middle piece, and a slender tail region. The part of the head is occupied by the nucleus, containing chromosomes and a large vesicle on the top of the nucleus, known as acrosome.
