A.
Absence of androgens
B.
Ductal pair dominance
C.
Ovary production
D.
Process of oogonia
ANS: A
The external female genitalia develop in the absence of androgens. The paramesonephric ducts are dominant in females, but this does not lead directly to the development of external genitalia. Ovaries are created when the medulla of the first primitive gonad regresses as the outer cortex becomes the ovary at around 10 weeks of gestation. Oogonia are underdeveloped fetal egg cells; it is not a process.
