ASSESSMENT VII
Critical Thinking Questions:
1. Identify the changes in sensitivity that occur in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonads as a boy or girl
approaches puberty. Explain how these changes lead to the increases of sex steroid hormone secretions
that drive many pubertal changes.
 Individuals become sexually mature and active during puberty. The changes that occur in both
the sexes during this stage are the outcomes of the secretions from different glands like
hypothalamus, pituitary and the gonads. The different hormonal secretions of these glands drive
the maturation of the reproductive systems and development of secondary sex characteristics.
These hormonal secretions are subjected to negative feedback mechanisms to exercise control
over the concentration of the hormones being secreted.
2. Explain how the internal female and male reproductive structures develop from two different duct
systems.
 In both male and female embryos, the same group of cells has the potential to develop into either
the male or female gonads; this tissue is considered bipotential. The SRY gene actively recruits
other genes that begin to develop the testes, and suppresses genes that are important in female
development. As part of this SRY-prompted cascade, germ cells in the bipotential gonads
differentiate into spermatogonia. Without SRY, different genes are expressed, oogonia form, and
primordial follicles develop in the primitive ovary.
3. Explain what would occur during fetal development to an XY individual with a mutation causing a
nonfunctional SRY gene.
 Females are considered the “fundamental” sex that is, without much chemical prompting, all
fertilized eggs would develop into females. To become a male, an individual must be exposed to
the cascade of factors initiated by a single gene on the male Y chromosome. This is called the
SRY (Sex-determining Region of the Y chromosome). Because females do not have a Y
chromosome, they do not have the SRY gene. Without a functional SRY gene, an individual will
be female.
