I was told all humans start as female and then the ovaries descend and become testis. Why are females limited in this capacity?
In: Biology
Humans do not start as female! We start out as **indifferent**. Around week 7 of gestation, if we have a Y chromosome we go towards the male pathway and if we dont have a Y chromosome we go towards the female pathway.
Ovaries dont become testes, a group of stem cells either become ovaries or testes depending on the signals they receive.
