Essay

Describe the development of reproductive organs in a fetus of each gender.Which genes,gene products,and hormones are involved in the sex differences? Which sex-related hormones are circulating in high concentrations in a pregnant woman compared to a nonpregnant woman? Do these hormones cross the placenta (if you are uncertain,consider hormone chemical class relative to membrane permeability to make an educated guess)? Assuming these hormones do cross the placenta,how do they affect the hormonal environment inside the fetus,and how does this relate to fetal reproductive development?
