Male gametes or sperms are produced in the: Correct Answer Testis

The correct answer is Testis.

Key Points

  • The male reproductive organ that produces sperms is the testis.
  • The testis is the primary sex organ in males.
  • Each testis is oval in shape, with a length of about 4 to 5 cm and a width of about 2 to 3 cm.
  • The testis is covered by a dense covering.
  • Each testis has about 250 compartments called testicular lobules.
  • Sperms in males are produced in the epididymis.
  • The sperm duct carries the sperm from the epididymis


Additional Information

  • Male gametes are called sperm.
  • Sperm is the smallest cell in the human body.
  • Sperms are small unicellular structures with a head, middle piece, and tail.
  • Sperm production occurs in the testicles.
  • Gametes are reproductive cells(sex cells) that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote.
  • The ovary is an organ found in the female reproductive system that produces an ovum.
