Last Week in…. Adventures in Biology... We discussed the different forms of Reproduction We discussed the costs/benefits of each form This week we’ll discuss sexual differentiation - how sexually reproducing organisms develop into separate sexes. Specifically, as it applies to us humans

? SO…How Do We Get From… Here… To here… (fully developed adult female) OR To here… (essentially a clump of undifferentiated cells) (fully developed adult male)

In other words, How do our bodies know if we are meant to use the little boys’ room or the little girls’ room? It’s the factor!

This gene is responsible for the development of testes The Y chromosome contains a gene known as the SRY (sex determining region on the Y chromosome) gene. This gene is responsible for the development of testes But what about the factor?

Everyone develops an area known as the urogenital ridge Unless testes develop, this area will naturally develop into the female reproductive system In other words, we are all female by default

BUT…how does this happen?? When testes form they release 2 hormones - testosterone & MIS (mullerian inhibiting substance) The testosterone causes the male reproductive system to develop MIS causes the ducts of the female system to degenerate

testes Codes for formation of produces Testosterone & MIS Leads to SRY gene on the Y Chromosome Codes for formation of produces Testosterone & MIS Leads to development of mature male reproductive system

leads to the natural development of the produces Female reproductive organs leads to development of mature female reproductive system Estrogen & Progesterone
