Open in App
Solution

The male reproductive system in humans consist of

* A pair of testes

* Accessory glands and ducts

* External genitalia

Testes produce male germ cells called sperms. Sperm is a male gamete that fuses with female gamete to form zygote.

The male reproductive system in plants consist of stamens ( anther and filament). Anther produces male gametophytes called pollen grains.

The female reproductive system in humans consist of pair of ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus and external genitalia.

Ovaries produce female germ cells called ova. Ovum or egg is a female gamete that fuses with male gamete to form zygote.

The female reproductive system in plants consists of pistil(stigma, style and ovaries).

Fertilised egg i.e. zygote further develops into embryo and then a new organism mostly inside the female reproductive system.
