Question: Can someone please explain ambigious genetalia to me!?!!?
Um ya, what the hell is it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Normally, an infant inherits one pair of sex chromosomes -- one X from the mother and one X or one Y from the father!. Thus, it is the father who "determines" the genetic sex of the child!. A baby who inherits the X chromosome from the father is a genetic female (two X chromosomes)!. A baby who inherits the Y chromosome from the father is a genetic male (one X and one Y chromosome)!. The male and female reproductive organs and genitals both arise from the same tissue in the fetus!.

If the process that causes this fetal tissue to become "male" or "female" is disrupted, ambiguous genitalia can develop!. This genitalia makes it difficult to classify the infant as male or female!. The extent of the ambiguity varies!. In very rare instances, the physical appearance may be fully developed as the opposite of the genetic sex!. For example, a genetic male may have developed the appearance of a normal female!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
