Solution
The acrosome of a sperm contains hydrolytic enzymes.
Explanation:
The acrosome of a sperm contains hydrolytic enzymes, specifically hyaluronidase. These enzymes help the sperm to dissolve the outer layers of the ovum during fertilization, facilitating the sperm’s entry into the ovum. This enzymatic activity is crucial for breaking down the protective barriers around the egg to enable fertilization.
