Answer:

Ovaries:

  • shelter and protect the eggs a female is born with until they are ready for use
  • produce estrogen
  • release eggs (ovulation)

Testes

  • Produce and store sperm
  • Create testosterone and androgens

Child bearing. "The uterus performs multiple functions and plays a major role in fertility and childbearing. This organ is able to change in shape as muscles tighten and relax to make it possible to carry a fetus"

  • The Cervix produces cervical mucus
  • During pregnancy, the cervix closes to help keep the fetus in the uterus until birth
  • during labor the cervix dilates

Gametes: a mature sexual reproductive cell, as a sperm or egg, that unites with another cell to form a new organism.

They area literally what come together to make the baby, without them, there is no baby

Also, this took me like ten minutes lol. Maybe just do your own work.
