Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The head of the sperm cell contains the genetic material, or chromosomes, that will combine with the genetic material from the egg cell during fertilization. The acrosome contains enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the protective outer layer of the egg cell, and the flagellum is the tail-like structure that propels the sperm forward. The middle piece contains mitochondria, which provide energy for the sperm to swim.
