Solution
| Basis of difference | Male reproductive events | Female reproductive events |
| Continuity of gamete formation | Sperm formation (Spermatogenesis) continues even in old men. | Ovum formation (Oogenesis) ceases (stops) in women around the age of fifty. |
| Reproductive lifespan | Males have a much longer reproductive lifespan, often extending throughout their life. | Females have a limited reproductive lifespan that ends at menopause. |
| Term for cessation | There is no specific term, as the process generally does not stop completely. | The permanent stoppage of the reproductive cycle is called Menopause. |
