Capacitation occurs in
- epididymis
- vas deferens
- female reproductive tract
- rete testis
Answer
(3) female reproductive tract
Solution
Capacitation is the final maturation of sperms by which they acquire the ability to fertilise the ovum.
⇒ It involves removal of the coating (cholesterol and glycoproteins) from the sperm head membrane.
∵ This change takes place only after ejaculation, inside the female reproductive tract (uterus and fallopian tube),
∴ capacitation occurs in the female reproductive tract.
