Summary Introduction
To Determine:
If the given statement is true or false.
Introduction:
Approximately, 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during sexual intercourse reaches the vicinity of the egg. The sperms must undergo capacitation during the migration in the female reproductive tract. During capacitation, the fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it comes in contact with the egg.
