Solution

The correct option is D

Golgi complex


The correct option is D.

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. The acrosome is a cap-like structure on the head of sperm cells.
  2. Sperm is a male gamete.
  3. It forms from the Golgi complex during testicular maturation. (when testes mature).
  4. It contains digestive enzymes that break down the outer membrane of the ovum called the zona pellucida.
  5. It allows the haploid(n) nucleus in the sperm cell to join with the haploid(n) nucleus in the ovum.
  6. The Golgi apparatus is found in most cells.
  7. It was named after Camillo Golgi.
  8. Golgi apparatus produces numerous vesicles which involve the storage and transportation of lipids, proteins, and other particles from one organelle to another.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

Option A:

  1. The cell nucleus is the brain or director of the cell as it regulates all the functions of the cell and cell organelles.
  2. It is present in the center of the animal cell and at the periphery of plants cell.
  3. It has genetic material which transfers the characteristics of the parents to the next generation.

Option B:

Chromosomes are the thread-like structure present in all cells. It contains genetic information.

Option C:

  1. Mitochondria are the cell organelles that generate electricity or power for the cell to perform functions.
  2. Power is in the form of energy.
  3. Energy is stored in the ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Final answer: Golgi complex is the cell organelle that takes part in the formation of acrosomes.
