Question

The prostate gland is described in all of the following ways​ except:

A. produces acid phosphatase to break apart semen and release spermatozoa in the vagina.
B. produces an antibiotic substance that kills bacteria in the vagina.
C. produces a substance that activates enzymes in the spermatozoon head so that it can penetrate the ovum.
D. is part of the urinary system as well as the reproductive system

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option- D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prostate gland is a walnut-shaped gland present between the bladder and penis.

The prostate gland is a part of the reproductive system and not the urinary system as it helps in the nourishment and protection of the sperm cells. It secretes a fluid which contains enzymes like phosphatases, lytic enzymes and antibiotics which helps in the protection and passage of sperm to the egg cell.

Thus, option- D is the correct answer.
