Depends on the animal, but in general male produces sperm, female produces eggs, and MAY hold fertilized eggs until they grow (but not always)
The male gamete is a sperm. The female gamete is an ova or egg.
gametes are produced by a special kind of cell division called meiosis. Meiosis produces ova (eggs) in women and sperm in men. Gametes have half the normal number of chromosomes (haploid number) - 23 chromosomes in human egg or sperm cells. For just the female gamete, the egg cell goes through the process of 'Oogenesis', which produces one female gamete and three polar bodies.
ovary.
No, even if it were possible for 2 cloned females to drop identical eggs at the right time, they would still be fertilised by different sperm. If it was considered possible for cloned males to have identical sperm, those 2 sperm would both have to beat millions of other sperm to get to the cloned eggs.
Fertilization can happen either inturnaly in a fish that produces both eggs and sperm or exturanly with a fish that produces on sperm.
It means something that produces both sperm and eggs. Take for example the earthworm. It produces eggs and sperm but CANNOT fertilise itself. During 'mating' two worms exchange sperm so they fertilise each other.
Puberty?
Yes. This process produces gametes called eggs in females and sperm in males.
Animals that produce both sperm and eggs are called hermaphrodite. They have both reproductive organs, this is very common in worms. Although usually each matures at different times so no self fertilization occurs.
gametophytes
The male reproductive system produces and delivers sperm. This is what fertilizes the eggs from the female, resulting in offspring.

>taken from my biology book< a tapeworm grows by adding sections directly behind its head. each body segment produces both eggs and sperm from separate male and female reproductive organs. the eggs and sperm are released into the segment. once filled with fertilized eggs, the segment breaks off and passes out of the host's body.
Internal fertilization is when the sperm is directly deposited into the female, who produces eggs and fertilizes them in her body
