The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the differences between primary and secondary sex organs, we need to analyze each option provided and determine which one does not differentiate the two categories. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Primary Sex Organs**: - Primary sex organs are the organs responsible for the production of gametes (sperm in males and ova in females). - They also secrete sex hormones that are crucial for reproductive functions. - Examples include testes in males and ovaries in females. 2. **Understand Secondary Sex Organs**: - Secondary sex organs are involved in the conduction or transportation of gametes. - They do not produce gametes or hormones but play a role in the reproductive process. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A**: "They produce gametes." - This is a characteristic of primary sex organs. - **Option B**: "They secrete sex hormones." - This is also a characteristic of primary sex organs. - **Option C**: "They are concerned with the conduction of gametes." - This is a function of secondary sex organs, not primary. - **Option D**: "Testes in males and ovaries in females are examples of primary sex organs." - This is true and describes primary sex organs. 4. **Identify the Exception**: - The question asks for the option that does not differentiate primary from secondary sex organs. - Since option C refers to the conduction of gametes, which is a function of secondary sex organs, it is the correct answer. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **Option C**: "They are concerned with the conduction of gametes." ---
