Explanation / Answer

1. a) During vasectomy, the vas deferens are severed. This prevents the travel of sperms from testes as they have to travel through vas deferens before ejaculation. Hence the male becomes sterile.

b) No, vasectomy does not result in non-production of sperms. Sperms are produced in testes and as testes are not affected because of this process, sperm production is not affected. However sperms cannot be ejaculated.
