Solution

In the absence of acrosome, the sperm cannot penetrate the egg. The acrosome is a cap-like structure over the anterior half of the sperm's head. It contains enzymes that help the sperm to penetrate the egg during fertilization. Without it, the sperm would not be able to penetrate the egg's protective layers.
