ovaries
A gametangium is a structure in fungi, algae, and some plants that produces and encloses gametes for sexual reproduction. It can contain male gametes (sperm) or female gametes (eggs) or both. Gametangia are often specialized structures that allow for the fusion of gametes to create a zygote.
the scrotum contains the testes, which produce gametes
An antheridium is a structure in plants that produces and releases male gametes, such as sperm cells. These male gametes are involved in the process of sexual reproduction by fertilizing female gametes to form a zygote.
No, pollen and ovules are not gametes. Pollen is a male reproductive structure that contains sperm cells, while ovules are female reproductive structures that contain egg cells. Gametes are the actual sperm and egg cells involved in sexual reproduction.
No, the anther is a male reproductive structure in plants. It is part of the stamen and produces pollen, which contains the male gametes necessary for fertilization.

Gametes. The female contains the ovum. The male contains the sperm.
A zygote is a cell formed by the union of two gametes (sperm and egg) during fertilization. This single-celled structure contains a complete set of chromosomes, half from each parent, and is the starting point of the development of a new organism.
In men, gametes are produced continuously throughout their lives via spermatogenesis, which occurs in the testes. In women, gametes are formed during fetal development and released monthly after puberty through oogenesis, which takes place in the ovaries. Additionally, men produce multiple small motile gametes (sperm), while women produce fewer larger non-motile gametes (eggs).
A ovule is a small structure in a seed plant that contains the embryo sac and develops into a seed after fertilization.
Meiosis formation of male gametes (sperm) occurs in the testes of animals, while meiosis formation of female gametes (eggs) occurs in the ovaries. These structures are specialized for the production and maturation of sex cells through the process of meiosis.
No, human gametes are not isogamous. Isogamy refers to the fusion of gametes that are similar in size and structure, whereas human gametes (sperm and eggs) are anisogamous, with sperm being much smaller and structurally different from eggs.
