Anatomical structure which produces gametes as well as certain sex hormones controlled by the pituitary gonadotropins.[AAO], The part of the reproductive system that produces and releases eggs (ovary) or sperm (testis).[TAO]
Examination of different vertebrate species shows that the adult gonad is remarkably similar in its morphology across different phylogenetic classes. Surprisingly, however, the cellular and molecular programs employed to create similar organs are not evolutionarily conserved.[uncertain][VHOG]
