Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sperm become functional when capacitation occurs, which is the process of the sperm's membrane and acrosome undergoing biochemical changes that enable it to penetrate and fertilize an egg. Becoming spermatids or having the tail disappear does not make sperm functional, and storing in the uterus for several days is not the process that makes sperm functional.
