Question
Chapter 20, Problem 6RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The condition which is responsible for the development of female accessory sex organs in an embryo with the genotype XX.
Introduction:
The genotype of the embryo decides whether it is going to grow into a male or a female. An embryo with genotype XX will grow into a female whereas, an embryo having XY genotype will develop into a male child. The accessory sex organs include the uterus and the uterine or fallopian tubes.
