In male fetuses, testosterone is converted into ___ Which is required for genitalia to develop into a penis and scrotum. Complications in the activity of this hormone can disrupt the development of external sex organs in male fetuses, and can produce intersex variations.
A) estradiol
B) dihydrotestosterone
C) Müllerian inhibiting hormone
D) luteinizing hormone
Your cousin just had twins. She tells you that twinning occurs when two sperm fertilize the same egg. You reply when two sperm fertilize the same egg. What will be your reply?
a) yes, she is right, that is the most common source of twinning
b) no, only one sperm survives passage through the uterine cervix, so two sperm are never present at fertilization
c) no, cortical granules are used to prevent additional sperm penetration
d) no, twinning occurs when unfertilized eggs divide spontaneously and thus is parthenogenic in nature
If a male has fragile X syndrome, is his mother or father more likely to be a carrier for the disease? Why?
