Answer to Question 1

Answer: The primary sex characteristics include the gonads, and the internal/external reproductive structures which are formed during the prenatal period. In contrast, the secondary sex characteristics develop in response to hormone stimulation during puberty. For a male, these include a beard and a deep voice, while for a female these would include development of breasts and wide hips.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The internal and external genitalia will develop into a female form in the absence of any hormone stimulation. In order to develop the external male genitals, dihydrotestosterone must be present. Because both male and female precursor tissues exist for the internal reproductive structures, the female system (Mllerian) must be inhibited by anti-Mllerian hormone, and the male Wolffian system must be stimulated by the presence of androgens.
