The process by which sperm become motile takes place in which part of the male reproductive system?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific part of the male reproductive system where sperm gain motility, which implies knowledge of reproductive biology.
Answer
Epididymis
The process by which sperm become motile takes place in the epididymis.
Answer for screen readers
The process by which sperm become motile takes place in the epididymis.
More Information
Sperm gain motility as they mature in the epididymis, allowing them to swim toward and fertilize an egg once they reach the female reproductive tract.
Tips
Assuming motility occurs at the production site (testes) instead of the maturation site (epididymis) is a common mistake.
