Solution

The correct options are
A Synthesize Sex hormones
B Produce Germ Cells
Males have testicles, or testes, as their gonads, and females have ovaries as their gonads. Even though the gonads don't look the same in males and females, they actually serve identical functions. The function of the gonads is to produce gametes for reproduction and secrete sex hormones. The Gonads (testes in males, ovaries in females) perform closely related dual functions.
1. Synthesize Sex hormones
