What determines sex phenotype?
A. Presence or absence of an X chromosome
B. Presence or absence of a Y chromosome
![Page 6: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Gonad Determination
• In males (XY), Sry gene on Y chromosome specifies male gonad– Produces a protein TDF (Testes
Determining Factor)
• Lack of Sry gene leads to female gonad
![Page 7: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The reproductive system is undifferentiated in early fetal life
![Page 8: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In Males the Wolffian Ducts
• Develop into Epididymis, Vas Deferens & Seminal Vesicles
• Depend on testosterone for development– In males T comes from testis– In females they regress due to lack of T
![Page 9: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Undifferentiated Reproductive System
![Page 10: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

In Females the Mullerian Ducts
• Develop into Fallopian tubes, uterus & upper 1/3 of vagina
• Develop in the absence of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)– Males secrete AMH in testis– Females don’t secrete AMH, therefore
Mullerian ducts develop
![Page 12: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
External Genitalia Development
• Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stimulates penis and scrotum development in male
• Clitoris, labia, outer 2/3 of vagina develop in the absence of any hormone in females
![Page 13: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

At the undifferentiated stage of reproductive development
A. Male embryos have only male reproductive precursor organs
B. Female embryos have only female reproductive precursor organs
C. Male and female embryos have both male and female reproductive precursor organs
![Page 17: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Summary
• Formation of a male requires the presence of four factors:– Testes Determining Factor (from SRY gene)
– Anti-Mullerian Hormone ( ↓ Mullerian ducts)
– Testosterone (internal sex organs)
– Dihydrotestosterone (external genitalia)
• Formation of a female occurs in absence of any of the above factors/hormones
![Page 18: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
True/False
• Development of normal male phenotype requires several factors and/or hormones that are not needed for female sexual development.

Congenital (Virilizing) Adrenal Hyperplasia
• Masculinization of female fetus in utero due to excess secretion of androgens.
• Female pseudohermaphrodite (ovaries normal but varying degrees of masculinization of genitalia)– At birth - ambiguous genitalia – e.g. swollen
clitoris, fused labia or small vaginal opening, normal internal sex organs
• Typically caused by high levels of weak androgens from the adrenal gland

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
• Mutation in Androgen Hormone Receptor
– Testosterone produced but body cannot respond
• Testes present (abdominal)
• Neither male nor female internal sex organs
• Phenotypically (externally) female
– Short vagina ends in cul-de-sac
• Behaviorally Female

Guevedoces
• 5 -reductase deficiency in males (Dominican Republic)
• External genitalia resemble female type and are raised as females until puberty
• At puberty their penis grows and they are re-assigned gender to male
• Thereafter they assume role of a male

Story of "John" "Joan" “John”
• Penis (John) accidentally cut off at 8 months of age
• Surgically altered to a female (Joan) at that time and raised as a girl
• In early teens Joan/John insisted he was a boy and underwent surgery back to male
![Page 29: Chapter 18 Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d10550346895da6c9a1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hypothesis: Exposure to Androgen during early development leads to masculinization
of the brain
• Example: the last two cases were individuals that were exposed to androgen during early development and they behave as males.
• Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome people are not exposed (i.e., can’t respond) to androgens and they act as females.
• Caution: This hypothesis needs much more testing before it can be verified or refuted.

Sexual Differentiation of the Rat Hypothalamus
• Hypothalamus controls pattern of hormone secretion
– Tonic secretion in males and cyclic secretion in females
• Hypothalamus is differentiated as male or female
during “critical period” (in rodents).
– Last 3 days of fetal development until postnatal day 10
– Exposure to T during critical period induces hypothalamus
to become “male” brain
