Verified step by step guidance

Understand the difference between primary and secondary sex characteristics. Primary sex characteristics are directly involved in reproduction, such as the production of gametes and the presence of reproductive organs like ovaries and the uterus.

Secondary sex characteristics are traits that develop during puberty and are not directly involved in reproduction but distinguish the sexes. These include features like facial hair in males, breast development in females, and changes in voice pitch.

Identify the options given in the problem: production of gametes, presence of ovaries, formation of the uterus, and development of facial hair in males.

Evaluate each option: Production of gametes, presence of ovaries, and formation of the uterus are primary sex characteristics because they are directly related to reproductive functions.

Recognize that development of facial hair in males is a secondary sex characteristic, as it is a trait that emerges during puberty and is not directly involved in the reproductive process.
