Have you ever wondered what the gender name of an animal is, that you have come across sometime your life? Sometimes when people are not certain of the gender name of an animal, the animal is often referred to as “she” and “he” or the more common gender pronouns “male” and “female”. For some animals it is easy to differentiate if they are male or female not by their sex organ but by their size, color, sound etc. For example, males are generally smaller in many species of fishes and birds. Male birds are usually more colorful than their female counterpart so as to attract them.
An animal being male and female (which is genetically determined by the presence or absence of certain chromosomes) plays an important role in the continued existence of its respective specie by a process called sexual reproduction. This process involves the joining of male sex cells (male gamete, or sperm) and female sex cells (female gamete, the egg or ovum). Thus, to carry on their species, organisms must pass their genetic instructions on to the next generation - to their babies or young ones.
