Which of the following roles is/are played by epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles and prostate in male reproductive system of human ?
General KnowledgeBiology
- ASpermatogenesis and maturation of sperms
- BMaturation and motility of sperms
- CSpermatogenesis and motility of sperms
- DMotility of sperms only
Explanation
The epididymis stores sperm and is where they mature and gain motility; the vas deferens transports them; the seminal vesicles and prostate contribute seminal fluid that nourishes and activates sperm. Spermatogenesis itself (sperm production) occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, not in these structures. Hence their roles are maturation and motility of sperms.
