Detailed Solution

The hormones testosterone and estrogen are released by the gonads when stimulated by the hormone released by the pituitary gland.

Testosterone secreted by the testes is the primary sex hormone in males. It is responsible for secondary sexual characters like deep voice, adam's apple, the development of the penis, and the formation of sperm in males.

Estrogen secreted by the ovaries in females is the sex hormone that causes secondary sexual characters like high pitched voice, development of breasts, and initiation of menstruation in females during puberty.
