Answer 2

The voice of a man is heavy compared to a woman because the hormone testosterone elongates the vocal cord.

Explanation:

• The hormone testosterone elongates the vocal cords during the puberty period, which is further responsible for other manly features such as broad shoulders and hairy faces.
• Also, when the vocal cords are tight and thin, the sound produced will be in a higher pitch and frequency.
• Women have shorter vocal cords compared to men, and they are also very loose.
• As indicators of sexual maturity, these traits may play a significant role in the process of finding a mate for reproduction.
