Answer 1

The correct option is C 1- iii, 2- i, 3-ii

The ovaries produce eggs/ova (female gametes) and secrete the female sex hormones - oestrogen and progesterone. The uterus is a pear-shaped, muscular, thick-walled organ in which the fertilised egg is implanted and grows into a baby. Sperm (male gametes) are produced in the testes. Testes also secrete the male sex hormone testosterone.
