If an embryo made testosterone normally but did not have testosterone receptors in any of its cells, would the embryo develop female reproductive structures, male reproductive structures, or no reproductive structures?
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
Answer: If an embryo made testosterone but did not have the receptors for it, then it would develop female reproductive structures. This is because the absence of testosterone signals the Wollfian ducts to degenerate in favor of the Mullerian ducts, resulting in Ovaries instead of testes.
