Questions and Answers

What happens to the primitive sex cords in a genetically male embryo?

  • They remain irregularly shaped cords throughout development.
  • They differentiate into the paramesonephric duct.
  • They break up into a network of tiny cell strands that later give rise to tubules of the rete ovarii.
  • They form a network of tiny cell strands that give rise to tubules of the rete testis. (correct)
  • What is the role of the SRY gene in male embryo development?

  • It encodes the testis-determining factor. (correct)
  • It prevents the formation of the mesonephric duct.
  • It determines the development of the paramesonephric duct.
  • It causes the primitive sex cords to remain irregularly shaped cords.
  • What is the function of the tunica albuginea in testis development?

  • It prevents the formation of the mesonephric duct.
  • It encodes the testis-determining factor.
  • It forms a network of tiny cell strands that give rise to tubules of the rete testis.
  • It separates the testis cords from the surface epithelium. (correct)
