Here's a breakdown:
* In females: Sex cells, specifically ova (egg cells), are formed in the ovaries.
* In males: Sex cells, specifically sperm cells, are formed in the testes.
The process of forming sex cells is called gametogenesis. This involves a special type of cell division called meiosis, which reduces the number of chromosomes in the gametes to half the number found in other body cells. This ensures that when the sperm and egg cells fuse during fertilization, the resulting offspring has the correct number of chromosomes.
