True. In sexually reproducing species, males typically produce sperm while females produce eggs. This process is known as gametogenesis. Sperm and eggs are specialized sex cells that contain half the genetic material required for reproduction.
1. Sperm are produced in the testes of male organisms through a process called spermatogenesis. These cells are smaller and more mobile, designed to fertilize the egg.
2. Eggs, or ova, are produced in the ovaries of female organisms through oogenesis. These cells are larger and contain nutrients to support the developing embryo if fertilized.
3. During sexual reproduction, a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell, resulting in the formation of a zygote with a complete set of genetic material. This zygote then develops into a new organism.
Therefore, the statement that males produce sperm and females produce eggs in sexually reproducing species is true.
