Androgens are synthesised from cholesterol and are produced mainly in the gonads and the adrenal glands.

Explanation:

They are produced in both the testicles and ovaries. However, they are produced in much greater quantities in the testicles, hence accounting for the much higher levels of androgen in males as compared to females.

Androgens control the development and maintainance of male characteristics in vertebrates.
