Name the male and female gonads and gametes.
To determine: The gametes and gonads of males and females.
Introduction: Reproduction is the biological process through which new offsprings are produced from the parent organism. There are two types of reproduction, asexual reproduction, in which only one parent is involved and sexual reproduction, in which two parents are involved.
Explanation of Solution
Gonads are the reproductive organs that produce gametes for fertilization. These structures are present inside the body. The male gonads are testes, whereas the female gonads are ovaries.
Gametes are mature haploid cells that are able to unite in sexual reproduction to form a zygote. The male gametes are sperms, whereas the female gamete is an egg or ova.
The male gonad is testes, and female gonad is ovary, whereas the male gamete is sperm, and female gamete is an egg.
