sex differentiation

Sex differentiation is the process by which males and females grow to be different from each other. Until about seven weeks after conception, all embryos regardless of their chromosomal makeup have the same structures of the gonads and genitalia (genital folds, genital ridges, genital tubercles, Mullerian ducts, and Wolffian ducts). Most develop according to what is considered standard for males or females, but some develop differently.
