Question:
Which of the following is not a function of sperm?
Which of the following is not a function of sperm?
Show Hint
Sperm's role is mainly related to genetic contribution and motility, while nourishment of the egg is a function of the egg cell itself.
Updated On: Apr 15, 2025
- Fertilization of egg.
- Carrying genetic material to the egg.
- Providing nourishment to the egg.
- Motility for reaching the egg.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The primary functions of sperm include: - Fertilization of the egg (A), - Carrying genetic material (B), - Providing motility to reach the egg (D). However, sperm do not provide nourishment to the egg. This function is typically provided by the egg's own cytoplasm, which contains nutrients necessary for the early development of the embryo. Thus, option (C) is the correct answer.
