Gonadal dysgenesis - The external sexual structures are present but at puberty the testes or the ovaries fail to develop. (1) Klenefetter's syndrome - A male type of dysgenesis in which although the anatomical structure is entirely male, the nuclear sexing is female (Chromatin positive), characterized by the presence of small testes with fibrosis and hyalinization of the seminiferous tubules. It is associated with XX Y chromosomes. (2) Turner's syndrome -Structurally and phenotypically female but the ovaries are small. There is sterility with the absence of the second X chromosomes, C. True hermaphroditism - A state of bisexuality, having both ovaries and testicles. The nuclear sex is usually female. The character may be neutral or whichever is dominant. d. Pseudohermaphrodite- Sex organ is anatomically of one sex but the sex characters is that of the opposite sex. (1) Male pseudohermaphrodite -Gonads are testicles but the character is effeminate. (2) Female pseudohermaphrodite - Gonads are ovaries but with masculine character.
