anything above or below 98.6 degrees will effect sperm production
true
false

Explanation:

The normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the testes, where sperm production occurs, are located outside the body (in the scrotum) because they require a temperature slightly lower (about 2 - 3 degrees Fahrenheit lower) than the core body temperature for optimal sperm production. So, it's not that any deviation (above or below) from 98.6 affects sperm production. For example, a very slight increase in core body temperature (like during a short - term fever) may not immediately halt sperm production, and a very slight decrease in core body temperature (in a cold environment for a short time) also may not have a significant impact. The key factor for sperm production is the temperature of the testes, which is regulated to be lower than the core body temperature.

Answer:

False
