Answer:

Males produces gametes at a steady, constant pace every day, whereas females only produce gametes once a month.

Explanation: The average male will produce roughly 525 billion sperm cells over a lifetime and shed at least one billion of them per month. Females are born with approximately 1 million eggs in their ovaries. By the time a woman reaches sexual maturity, only about 300,000 of those eggs remain viable. During her reproductive lifetime, only 300 to 400 eggs will be ovulated during her monthly cycles.

Gametes are the reproductive cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new organism called a zygote. The gametes in males and females are different. The male gamete is called sperm. It is much smaller than the female gamete and very mobile.
