Which one of the following statements is false in respect of viability of mammalian sperm?Sperm survival depends on the pH of the medium; sperms are more active in an alkaline medium, and motility indicates viability.
Human sperms remain viable in the female reproductive tract for about 48 to 72 hours, not just 24 hours.
So the statement that sperm is viable for only up to 24 hours is false.
