Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Testosterone is the hormone that causes most of the changes in a guy’s body during puberty. Sperm cells must be produced for men to reproduce. In girls, FSH and LH target the ovaries, which contain eggs that have been there since birth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main reproductive hormones are oestrogen and testosterone. Oestrogen causes eggs to mature in ovaries once a girl hits puberty. These are then released at regular intervals during the menstrual cycle. Testosterone stimulates sperm production in males.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary female sex hormones are estrogen and progesterone, which means men’s primary sex hormone is testosterone. However, women do produce small amounts of this as well. Similarly, men also produce small amounts of estrogen and progesterone.
