Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of primary sex organs: Primary sex organs, also known as gonads, are responsible for producing gametes, which are the reproductive cells (sperm in males and eggs in females).

Identify the roles of primary sex organs: The main role of primary sex organs is the production of gametes. They are not involved in regulating body temperature, protecting internal organs, or synthesizing vitamin D.

Differentiate between primary and secondary sex characteristics: Primary sex organs are directly involved in reproduction, whereas secondary sex characteristics are features that develop during puberty and are not directly involved in reproduction.

Consider the biological processes: The production of gametes is a crucial biological process for reproduction, ensuring the continuation of genetic material from one generation to the next.

Review the options given: Among the options provided, only the production of gametes is a function of primary sex organs. The other options are unrelated to the primary function of these organs.
