The correct Answer is:
To determine the set of secondary sex organs, we need to understand the distinction between primary and secondary sex organs in both males and females. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Primary Sex Organs**: - In males, the primary sex organ is the **testis**, which is responsible for producing sperm (male gametes). - In females, the primary sex organ is the **ovary**, which produces eggs (female gametes). 2. **Understand Secondary Sex Organs**: - Secondary sex organs are those that assist in the reproductive process but are not directly involved in gamete production. They include accessory ducts and external genitalia. - In males, secondary sex organs include: - **Epididymis**: stores sperm. - **Vas deferens**: transports sperm. - **Seminal vesicles** and **prostate gland**: produce seminal fluid. - **Penis**: external genitalia used for copulation. - In females, secondary sex organs include: - **Fallopian tubes**: transport eggs from the ovaries. - **Uterus**: where a fertilized egg can develop. - **Vagina**: the canal leading to the external genitalia. 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option 1**: Testis (primary), so this is incorrect. - **Option 2**: Ovary (primary), so this is incorrect. - **Option 3**: Penis (secondary), vagina, and uterus (both secondary), making this option correct. - **Option 4**: Testis and ovary (both primary), so this is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option 3**, as it contains the secondary sex organs: penis, vagina, and uterus.
