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