28
Q

synthesis of what triggers male development? When it’s not expressed default is female

29
Q

SRY triggers the development of ___ into the wolffian duct which become epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, ejaculatory duct

A

leydig cells

30
Q

SRY causes __ to develop signaling the mullein ducts to degenerate preventing female development

Q

the absence of SRY allows __ to develop which become fallopian tubes, uterus, and upper part of vagina
