Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of a sperm cell: A human sperm cell consists of a head, neck, midpiece, and tail.
Identify the function of each part: The head contains the nucleus, which houses the genetic material. The midpiece contains mitochondria for energy, and the tail is used for movement.
Recognize that chromosomes are located in the nucleus, which is found in the head of the sperm.
Recall that a haploid set of chromosomes means there is one complete set of chromosomes, which is typical for gametes like sperm and eggs.
Conclude that since the head of the sperm contains the nucleus, it is the part that carries the haploid set of chromosomes.
