_______ gives rise to acrosome of the sperm

AGolgi apparatus

BLysosome

CCentriole

DEndoplasmic reticulum

Answer:

A. Golgi apparatus

Read Explanation:

  • The Golgi apparatus gives rise to the acrosome of the sperm. During the process of spermiogenesis, which is the final stage of sperm maturation, the Golgi apparatus becomes highly active. It produces numerous vesicles that fuse together to form a large, single vesicle called the acrosomal vesicle.

  • This vesicle then migrates to the anterior part of the sperm nucleus and flattens to form the cap-like structure we know as the acrosome. The acrosome is crucial for fertilization as it contains a variety of hydrolytic enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the protective layers of the egg.
