Internal genitalia like the vagina, uterus, and ovaries in females, and the testes, epididymis, and vas deferens in males, originate from the Mullerian and the Wolffian ducts respectively. These two ducts are both present in the same fetus during the early phase of human development, but one will prevail over the other to make the developing conceptus a female or a male. If both persist, the baby will have an intersex condition. Discuss two syndromes that are examples of disorder of sex development (intersex condition), and how they will affect the future life of the newborn
