Abstract:
The subject of this fascinating book is how and why males become male and females become female and what factors may lead to intersexuality. Coming from a molecular biology perspective, Professor Hunter uses examples of intersexuality, chimeras, and asymmetries to describe the underlying molecular basis of sexual differentiation and determination. He explains how genetic instruction can prompt myriad developmental problems. Reproductive physiologists and geneticists from agriculture to veterinary medicine will find this a stimulating topic.
