Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a similarity between the male and female reproductive systems?

Both have external genitalia as the primary reproductive organs

Both play a role in the continuation of the species

Both have structures that secrete hormones

Both produce gametes for reproduction

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by identifying the primary reproductive organs in both male and female reproductive systems. In males, the primary reproductive organs are the testes, while in females, they are the ovaries. External genitalia, such as the penis and vulva, are not considered primary reproductive organs.

Step 2: Analyze the role of both systems in the continuation of the species. Both male and female reproductive systems contribute to reproduction by producing gametes (sperm and eggs) and facilitating fertilization.

Step 3: Examine the hormone-secreting structures in both systems. The testes in males secrete testosterone, and the ovaries in females secrete estrogen and progesterone, which are essential for reproductive functions.

Step 4: Consider the production of gametes in both systems. Males produce sperm cells, and females produce egg cells, which are necessary for reproduction.

Step 5: Compare the options provided in the question and identify the statement that is incorrect based on the analysis above. The statement 'Both have external genitalia as the primary reproductive organs' is not accurate because external genitalia are not the primary reproductive organs in either system.
