How do you expect Kartagener syndrome leads to infertility?
A. The lack of a plasma membrane means that pathogens and foreign substances can permeate the sperm and damage the DNA
B. The lack of microtubules mean the sperm do not have tails and cannot swim to fertilize the egg
C. The lack of dynein means that the sperm cannot bend their tails to swim and fertilize the egg
