Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | All mitochondria in the bodily cells of an individual normally derive from the mother alone. |
Reason (R): | The sperm has a large number of mitochondria in the body that are spirally arranged. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |

Sperm-producing cells have unique antigens yet they are not attacked by the immune cells because of:
1. | antigens are recognized as self-antigens. |
2. | acrosome at the tip. |
3. | protection by the blood-testis barrier. |
4. | inhibitors attached on the surface. |
The term used to describe the changes that happen to the sperm inside the female reproductive tract that allows the sperm to become capable of fertilizing the egg is:
1. | spermiogenesis | 2. | the acrosomal reaction |
3. | capacitation | 4. | implantation |
