Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of primary sex organs: Primary sex organs, also known as gonads, are responsible for producing gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) and secreting sex hormones.
Identify the primary sex organ in males: In males, the primary sex organ is the testes, which produce sperm and secrete testosterone.
Differentiate between primary and secondary sex organs: Secondary sex organs, such as the prostate gland, penis, and scrotum, support the reproductive process but do not produce gametes.
