Ovary is one word that sums up what gonads are

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The gland responsible for reproduction and produces gametes and hormones related to reproduction is the Gonad.
  • Females have gametes in the form of egg cells and males have it as sperm.
  • The gonad in the female is the ovary that makes egg cell and in the male it produces sperm by testicle.
  • These gametes are cells that are haploid.
  • These are influenced and regulated by the hormones- follicle stimulating and luteinizing.
