which of the following does not result from the production of luteinizing hormone (LH) in males? a. bone growth b. facial hair growth c. testosterone production d. sperm production

a. bone growth hormones released during puberty lead to egg production in females and sperm production in males. puberty hormones lead to secondary sexual characteristics such as facial hair in men.

Which of the following organs produce female gametes? a. ovary b. testes c. prostate d. uterus

a. ovary ovaries produce the female gametes (eggs) testes produce male gametes (sperm) prostate and uterus are important reproductive structures, but they don't produce gametes

which of the following best describes one function of estrogen? a. production of sperm cells b. maturation of eggs c. release of egg d. fertilization

b. maturation of eggs estrogen is a hormone that plays a role in egg maturation. estrogen doesn't play a role in the male production of sperm cells. luteinizing hormone plays a role in the release of an egg from an ovary. fertilization is the fusion of an egg and a sperm cell.

which is the location where fertilization typically takes place? a. vagina b. penis c. vas deferens d. fallopian tubes

d. fallopian tubes sperm is released into the vagina and travels into the uterus and Fallopian tubes. if an egg is present, there is a good chance it will be fertilized by a sperm cell. the vagina is where sperm are released by the penis during sexual intercourse, but it then travels to the uterus and Fallopian tubes. vas deferent are only found in the male reproductive system

describe how the production of male and female gametes differ?

male gametes, or sperm, are produced by the testes, whereas female gametes, or eggs, are produced by the ovaries. sperm are constantly produced, but eggs are developed and matured cyclically. eggs are typically released one at a time, but many sperm can be released at once during ejaculation.
