Detailed explanation-1: -The testes lie outside of the body and are maintained at a temperature about 2oC lower than the body’s core temperature. This is because sperm production and quality is optimal at this lower temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sperms develop at around 35-degree Celsius which is slightly less than the normal body temperature.
