Options
A True
Correct Answer
B False
C
D
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

True. Egg cells (ova) are among the largest cells in the body. They contain a store of nutrients (yolk) in their cytoplasm to support the early embryo. They are non-motile and rely on ciliary action and peristalsis in the fallopian tube for transport. Sperm are small, motile cells with flagella.

Hint

Is the egg a large, stationary cell packed with resources for the embryo?
