The prostate gland is a small gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum that produces fluid that makes up semen. The seminal vesicles are a pair of small glands located behind the bladder that produce fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Both glands play a role in the production of seminal fluid but are located in different parts of the male reproductive system.
The seminal vesicle is not a paired gland. It is a single, midline structure located behind the bladder in males and plays a crucial role in producing seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.
Prostate gland Seminal vesicle Cowper's gland
Sperm cells need to be bathed with fluids from the prostate gland and seminal vesicle. The seminal glands supply fluid that carries the sperm along and the seminal vesicle supplies fluid that helps the sperm to survive better in the vagina.
The prostate gland secretes about 30% of the fluid, which mixes with the fluid from the seminal vesicle and the spermatozoa. The spermatic fluid or semen is formed by the secretions of the Testes, Seminal vescicles, Prostate gland and Bulbourethral gland. The sperms are secreted by the testes which pass through the vas deferns to seminal vescicles. The seminal vescicles contibute to about 70% of semen. The prostate gland and bulbourethral gland(Cowper's gland) further contibute to form semen.
Cats do not have seminal vesicles therefore there is no difference.

Its a combination of the testicles, prostate and seminal vesicle.

The prostate, testes, and seminal vesicles
Several glands are involved in producing semen. The testes create the sperm cells. The prostate gland creates most of the liquid in the semen. The cowper's glands also produce some of the liquid. The seminal vesicles hold the mixture until ejaculation.

Sperm pass the prostate and the seminal vesicle, on the way from the testicles to the urethra.
The male reproductive system includes: bulbourethral gland, epididymis, seminal vesicle and prostate gland.
The seminal fluid secreted by the seminal vesicle is typically a yellowish or cloudy white color.
