Answer to Question 1

Answer: Sexual identity is determined by a complex interaction of genetic, physiological, and environmental factors. The beginning of a person's sexual identity occurs at conception with the combining of chromosomes that determine the baby's sex. Gender identity refers to a personal sense of awareness of being masculine or feminine, male or female.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Sperm develop in the testes. While still immature, they are released into the epididymis, where they reach maturation. From the tubules of the epididymis, sperm move into the vas deferens, which lead to the ejaculatory ducts that pass through the prostate gland and empty into the urethra, which runs through the shaft and into the glans of the penis.
