Solution (By Examveda Team)
Reproductive cells in human beings are produced in greater numbers for a longer period of time in the male. Sexual reproduction occurs through the union of sex cells, or gametes. Gametes differ widely in males versus females for a given organism. For humans, male gametes are called spermatozoa while female gametes are called ova. Spermatozoa are also known as sperm and ova are also known as eggs.
