Answer
Male: testes, secreting testosterone; female: ovaries, secreting oestrogen.
(i) Male: the testes. Besides producing the sperms (male germ cells), they act as endocrine glands and secrete the hormone testosterone. (ii) Female: the ovaries. Besides producing the eggs or ova (female germ cells), they act as endocrine glands and secrete the hormone oestrogen; progesterone, also secreted by the ovaries, equally answers "a hormone".
