Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ovaries and testes are both reproductive organs that produce and release gametes (eggs and sperm) and secrete hormones. They are both called gonads. Option A is incorrect as the ovaries and testes do not secrete gonadotropins, but they are stimulated by gonadotropins secreted by the pituitary gland. Option B is incorrect as the ovaries and testes are located in different regions (ovaries are in the pelvic cavity while testes are in the scrotum). Option C is incorrect as gametes are the eggs and sperm produced by the ovaries and testes, respectively.
