Answer 1

Answer:

They produce the materials needed by the sperm to travel to the egg

Explanation:

Seminal vesicles are glands located near the distal end of the vas deferens. They are responsible mainly for the secretion of seminal fluid as the sperm are moved along towards the ejaculatory duct. The seminal fluid contains a substance which stimulates the sperms. The seminal fluid also contains simple sugars e.g. fructose which provide nourishment for the sperms.
