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.
