Q

wrong about gonadal development/ sex determination

A

by the answer suggested: before the arrival of primordial germ cells the epithelium of the genital ridge proliferates and the epithel cells penetrate the underlying mesenchyme forming the primitvie sex cords. It is impossible to differntiate between male and femal at this point - indifferent gonad
