Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1-f, 2-d, 3-b, 4-e, 5-c, 6-a

The correct matching of animal semen with sperm concentration per ml:

  • Bull: 1200 million/ml
  • Ram: 3000 million/ml (highest among mammals)
  • Stallion: 120 million/ml (lowest among mammals — but highest semen volume)
  • Boar: 270 million/ml
  • Fowl: 3500 million/ml
  • Turkey: 7000 million/ml (highest of all)
Key Contrasts to Remember
  • Minimum sperm concentration + Maximum semen volume: Ram semen has minimum volume but maximum concentration among mammals.
  • Maximum semen volume per ejaculate: Boar (200–250 ml)
  • Stallion: Has the lowest sperm concentration among domestic mammals but the semen volume is 125 ml (second only to boar).
