Q

Sex determination

A
  1. Chromosomal sex (XX vs. XY)
    A. Sex-determining region (SRY) on Y chromosome encodes testis-determining factor (TDF)
    B. TDF absent -> indifferent gonads -> ovaries
    C. TDF present inhibits default signal => indifferent gonads -> testes
  2. Gonads and hormones -> differentiation genital ducts and external genitalia
    A. Androgen is hormones -> male tract and external genitalia from mesonephric duct
    1. Anti-mullarian hormone (AMH) inhibits paramesonephric duct
    2. Estrogen -> female tract and genitalia (paramesonephric)
      A. DHT absent -> mesonephric degrades
