The primary function of the human male reproductive system is to

• provide a site for fertilization
• produce and transport gametes
• protect and nourish the embryo
• prevent urine from leaving the body

The inability of sperm cells to move normally could prevent the production of offspring by interfering with

• meiosis
• fertilization
• mitosis
• differentiation

Which structure is correctly paired with its function?
