complete this analogy: testes are to gonads as sperm are to:

ova.

oestrogen.

gametes.

sex hormones.

Explanation:

To solve the analogy, we analyze the relationship: Testes are a type of gonads (gonads are the reproductive organs, and testes are male gonads). Now, sperm are male gametes. Gametes are the reproductive cells (sperm in males, ova in females). Let's check the options:

• Ova: Female gametes, not the category for sperm. Eliminate.
• Estrogen: Female sex hormone, not related to sperm's category. Eliminate.
• Gametes: Sperm are male gametes, just as testes are male gonads. This fits the analogy (part to whole/type of relationship: testes (type of gonad) : gonads :: sperm (type of gamete) : gametes).
• Sex hormones: Hormones, not the cell type sperm is. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. gametes
