Which describes the function of the human sperm cell’s structure? a.The nucleus contains all 46 chromosomes. b.The tail allows it to travel to the egg. c.The head contains a basic substance that counteracts acidic substances in the vagina. d.The sperm’s structure allows it to live for two weeks in the vagina.

The answer is B. I am 90% sure. A is wrong because the sperm is a haploid cell, thus the sperm only has 23 chromosomes- not 46. C. sounds correct, but B is a more logical answer- at least to me. D. is wrong because if the sperm can only live in the vagina for 2 days or so, definitely not two weeks.
