Read through the section on sex determination to answer the following scenarios. A person is born with XY chromosomes but physically and mentally presents as female until puberty. What biological factors play a role? A person with XX chromosomes are born with ambiguous genitals that resemble a penis, but they have internal ovaries. What biological factors could be involved? A person with XX chromosomes has a functional SRY gene on one of their X chromosomes. How would you expect them to develop? What role does birth order play in fetal development?
