Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
In sexually reproducing animals, males and females are differentiated on the basis of primary reproductive organs, accessory reproductive organs, and secondary sexual characteristics. Following are the differences between accessory reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics:
No. | Criteria | Accessory reproductive organs | Secondary sexual characteristics |
1. | Definition | The accessory organs are the reproductive organs other than gonads that differ in males and females. | The secondary sexual characteristics are properties of nonreproductive tissues and organs that differ in males and females. |
2. | Examples | In human males, penis, vas deferens, and the other sperm carrying ducts out of the testes are the accessory reproductive organs. | In human males, facial hair, chest hair, and a deep voice are secondary sexual characteristics. |
