Which of the following is a function of the reproductive system?
Correct Answer:
Production of gametes
Explanation:
The reproductive system's job is to produce gametes—sperm in males and eggs in females—and support the processes that enable reproduction, including fertilization and the development of offspring. This happens in the gonads, where gametes are formed through meiosis, providing half the chromosomes for a new individual and contributing to genetic variation. Other options relate to different body systems: regulating body temperature involves the nervous system and skin, filtering wastes is the job of the urinary/excretory system, and digesting fats is part of the digestive system. Therefore, producing gametes is the function of the reproductive system.
