O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/12/M/J/22
Question 34 from 5090/12/M/J/22

Explanation

Sperm Storage in Male Reproductive System

Steps:

  • Identify key structures: testes produce sperm, epididymis stores it, vas deferens transports it, accessory glands add fluids.
  • Examine diagram labels for these functions.
  • Match "may contain sperm" to storage/transport paths, excluding production sites or fluid-only glands.
  • Select structure along sperm pathway post-production.

Why D is correct:

  • Epididymis stores mature sperm before transport, per reproductive anatomy definitions.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Seminal vesicle produces seminal fluid, no sperm storage.
  • B: Prostate gland secretes fluid for semen, lacks sperm.
  • C: Urethra conducts urine/semen but holds sperm only transiently during ejaculation.

Final answer: D
