Darcy and Raul are having difficulty conceiving a child. Darcy ovulates every 28 days, and Raul's sperm count is normal. If we could observe Raul's sperm about an hour after ejaculation, however, we'd see that they appear to be moving only sluggishly. When Raul's sperm eventually encounter Darcy's oocyte, they appear to be incapable of generating an adequate acrosomal reaction. Which process has probably gone wrong?

Sperm motility

Explanation:

Sperm motility is the property of the sperms to move properly through the woman's reproductive system during the process of fecundation. The sperms need to move into the female reproductive tract to fertilize the ovum and thus form the egg cell.
