Two major functions of each are as follows:

Testis:

The process of spermatogenesis produces sperms through the seminiferous tubules

Testosterone, the male sex hormone is secreted by the Leydig cells

Ovary:

In the process of oogenesis, ovaries produces ova

Progesterone and oestrogen, the female sex hormones are secreted

Answer 2

Functions of the Testis:

(a) They produce male gametes called spermatozoa by the process of spermatogenesis.

(b) The leydig cells of the seminiferous tubules secrete the male sex hormone called testosterone. Testosterone aids the development of secondary sex characteristics in males.

Functions of the ovary:

(a) They produce female gametes called ova by the process of oogenesis.

(b) The growing Graffian follicles secrete the female sex hormone called estrogen. Estrogen aids the development of secondary sex characteristics in females.
