Chapter 27, Problem 12RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The human reproductive system comprises the male and female reproductive systems. The primary sex organs in males and females are the testes and ovaries, respectively. The testes in the males produce the gamete cells called sperms. The ovaries in the female produce the sex cells egg or ova. Sperms fuse with the egg cell and lead to the formation of the zygote in a process called fertilization in human beings.
