Question

Describe the formation of Acrosome

Answer 1

Formation of Acrosome: 

• The anteriormost part of the sperm is called an acrosome. 
• It is formed by the Golgi body during the spermiogenesis. 
• Firstly, one of the vacuoles of the Golgi body develops an acrosomal granule.
• Gradually, the acrosomal granule accumulates lytic enzymes and forms a cap-like structure on the anterior end of the nucleus.
• Soon this cap gets bounded by a single unit plasma membrane and forms an acrosome. 
• The rest parts of the Golgi body are lost in the form of Golgi rest.
