Biological sex that produces egg cells (ova).
- description:
A female organism typically has the capacity to produce relatively large, usually immobile gametes (reproductive cells), called egg cells (or ova). In the process of fertilization, an egg cell (ovum) fuses with a smaller, usually mobile male gametes, called sperm cells (or spermatozoa).

- @type:
- definition:
Biological sex with both male and female reproductive organs.
- description:
A hermaphrodite is an animal or plant that can produce gametes (reproductive cells) of both, male and female sexes. In sexually dimorphic organisms, hermaphroditism may occur because of variations in the genetic code. The term hermaphrodite is considered to be misleading, stigmatizing, and scientifically specious in reference to humans. For this reason, in humans the term intersex is typically used.
