Answer 1

It is simple, as a case of interpolation, we can take the example of loud speakers we have Bass and twiters . Male voice box differ from female voice box and the same is implied in the frequency generated by the voice boxes. Shorter the box higher the frequency , longer/ bigger the box lower frequency and high in bass.

Answer 2

Men's vocal cords are well rested from waiting to get a word in. Female vocal cords are in use a much higher percentage of time trying to keep the male cords from interrupting. The difference in timber in rested vocal cords is quite noticable and we easily identify gender in this way.

Answer 3

Physiology of vocals chords is on average different between men and women. The chords in men are typically longer than chords in women; so like a longer vibrating string, their voices are typically lower because longer things tend to vibrate at slower (lower) frequencies. There are always exceptions to this rule, which is why I say "on average" or "typically."

Answer 6

Estrogen secreted by the ovarian follicle in females maintains the high pitch voice while testosterone secreted by testes in male maintains his low pitch voice. so as the harmones are different , the pitches and hence voice is different
