Solution:

Gender is the primary category that comes to our minds when we attempt to imagine any social/cultural life. We organize the world in terms of gender- the work people do, the clothes they wear, their behavior, their social groups, their tastes, and likes and dislikes.The word gender is used as a conceptual category. This refers to traits and behaviors that a particular culture deems appropriate for men and women. So in a society, there are different roles that men and women undertake. For instance, men become breadwinners for the family and women become the nurturers.Men are associated with aggressive and powerful roles like the head of the state, or in the military. Contrary to this, women are assigned roles of taking care of young children or the sick.Sex refers to the biological and physiological differences between male and female bodies, while gender refers to everything else that goes into making us œmen and œwomen “ social and cultural processes, economic and political structures. While our biological birth defines us as a man or a woman, society has differentiated the roles based on genders. Many people have broken this belief and taken up roles in society that have conventionally been reserved for the other gender.Thus, it is concluded that the term sex refers to biological differences whereas gender refers to traits and behaviors that a particular culture deems appropriate for men and women.
