Answer:

Testes and ovaries produce two types of hormones:

androgens (male sex hormones)

estrogens (female full hormones)

In each type of gland, both types of hormones are secreted only in different amounts: the ovaries secrete more estrogen than the androgen hormones, and the sperm inversely.

Explanation:

In testicular tissue, Leydig cells produce androgen hormones: androsterone and testosterone. The ovaries produce a group of estrogen hormones and progesterone. These hormones exert their effect at puberty when the glands are activated. At puberty, the pituitary gonadostimulins activate the sex glands, whose activity leads to the development of secondary sex characteristics (the appearance of first menstruation in girls, beards and mustaches in boys, etc.).

The cell of humans contains 46 chromosomes and is about to undergo cell division. What type of cells are created after this?

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The cell of humans contains 46 chromosomes and is about to undergo cell division so two types of cells are formed. If the cell division occurs in somatic cells then mitosis occurs or if the cell division occurs in sex cells then meiosis occurs. In mitosis, two daughter cells are formed while in meiosis, four daughter cells are produced. In mitosis, each daughter cell has 46 chromosomes while in meiosis each daughter cell has 23 chromosomes.

kirill115 [55]

<span>These are organelles.
An organelle is the part of a cell that has a specific purpose in a cell. The structure of the cell is made up of many different organelles. The chloroplast consists of chlorophyll and the cell wall. The chloroplast helps with photosynthesis. Animal cells do not contain chlorophyll as they do not need photosynthesis to generate energy. A plant is unable to turn the sun's rays into a food source without photosynthesis.
