Explanation:

Human hormones testosterone and estrogen are basically derived from steroids. Steroids are the lipids. Like lipids these hormones are insoluble in water and soluble in solvents which are non polar in nature. These hormones are the sex hormones.  

Testosterone is the primary male reproductive hormone. It is an anabolic steroid. It plays an important role in development of the male reproductive cells called as testes. Also ensures the development of secondary sexual characteristics for example increase in mass of muscles and bones, and growth of hair in the body.  

Estrogen is a hormones that are important for secondary sexual development and reproductive development, commonly in women. It also referred to as female sex hormones. It help in development of the secondary sexual characteristics in females such as development of breasts, widening of hips and growth of pubic hair and armpit hair.

sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of genes. species that reproduce sexually must maintain two different types of individuals, males and females, which can limit the ability to colonize new habitats as both sexes must be present.
