Answer 2

A gonad is a specialized organ which contains germ cells. Germ cells are responsible for producing the haploid cells required for sexual reproduction. Typically in sexually reproducing animals, each organism has a set number of chromosomes. Each chromosome has two parts, one from the mother and one from the father. Every cell in an organism contains all the chromosomes, with both parts.

Function of a Gonad

To make haploid cells in humans, a gonad facilitates a special type of cell divisionknown as meiosis. During meiosis, a diploid cell’s DNA is doubled, creating 92 chromosomes, which are then split into 4 cells. Each cell is unique, and contains 23 unpaired chromosomes. These cells will become the eggs and sperm involved in sexual reproduction.

A gonad in another organism functions in the exact same way, although the number of chromosomes in each organism varies. In organisms with complex hormonal systems, the gonads are often involved in the regulation of hormones. This can be seen in humans. Male testes have been found to be involved in the production and regulation of testosterone, while female ovaries produce a variety of hormones involved in ovulation and pregnancy, the main hormone of which is estrogen.
