Which of the following is TRUE about the mechanism of sex determination?A) The product of the SRY gene converts the bipotential gonads into testes.B) The development of an ovary is conditioned by the presence of two X chromosomes.(C) Testosterone promotes the degeneration of the Mullerian duct.D.The ovary produces a Wolffian inhibition factor that causes the Wolffian duct to degenerate.E) The "feminization" of accessory sex orgarts is promoted by the ovary.

Human sex is controlled by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome with a utilitarian SRY quality.…

Which of the following is TRUE about the mechanism of sex determination? A) The product of the SRY gene converts the bipotential gonads into testes. The development of an ovary is conditioned by the presence of two X chromosomes. Testosterone promotes the degeneration of the Mullerian duct. The ovary produces a Wolffian inhibition factor that causes the Wolffian duct to degenerate.
