Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Secretions from the seminal vesicles make up about 60 percent of the volume of the semen, with most of the remainder coming from the prostate gland. The sperm and secretions from the bulbourethral gland contribute only a small volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -The prostate gland is an accessory male reproductive organ, located at the base of the bladder, and surrounding the urethra. It produces prostatic secretions that contain zinc, citric acid, calcium, phosphates, and other enzymes essential for sperm health and motility.

Detailed explanation-3: -The prostate and seminal vesicles are special glands present in the male reproductive system which produce different secretions. These secretions mix with the sperm and form semen. Semen provides better mobility and nutrition to the sperm, as they have to cover some distance inside the female body for fertilization.
