	In biology, '''sex''' refers to the categorization of organisms (or their parts) with regard to the role they play in reproduction. When a species reproduces sexually, it usually does so by producing two types of gametes that have to come together to form a new member of the species. One type of gamete is large and non-mobile (ova), whereas the other type is small and mobile (spermia). When an organism or an organ produces large and non-mobile gametes, it's called '''female'''. If it produces small and mobile gametes, it's called '''male'''.		In biology, '''sex''' refers to the categorization of organisms (or their parts) with regard to the role they play in reproduction.
