After school that day Terry went to the mall with her friends Tiffany and Melissa. They were excitedly getting ready for summer camp and shopping for swimsuits. Terry came out of the dressing room modeling a pink bikini. "Hey, what's that?" asked Tiffany, pointing to some small scars just above Terry's bikini line. "It's nothing," Terry answered. "Some kind of operation I had as a baby. I don't even remember it." Later that night as Terry was lying in bed, she ran her fingers idly across the scars on her abdomen. What was it her mother had told her about that operation? Something about "boy stuff" that got into her by mistake, before she was even born, and they had to take it out.... "Boy stuff?!?" What could that mean? What do boys have inside there? Terry pulled her biology book off the shelf and flipped to the picture of the reproductive system. Gonads.... Testes.... Did she have testes before she was born...? "But that can't be," she thought, "I'm a girl!" Questions 1. Terry doesn't realize it yet, but she did have testes when she was born. Consider this fact together with the results of Terry's biology lab and suggest two scenarios that might explain these results. 2. Is either of these scenarios a satisfactory explanation of Terry's biological condition? Why or why not? (You may want to read again about the mouse experiment that was described earlier.)

external characteristics; it is also possible they could have both male and female characteristics. This disorder is called androgen insensitivity syndrome. In short, biological sex is complicated. Sex determination is due to chromosomes and the genes found on them, the gonads (sex organs), genitalia, and physical characteristics present, as well as affected by chemicals, like hormones, and other environmental factors. 3.1 Why can an individual survive without a Y chromosome but not without a X chromosome? 3.2 What is the SRY gene, and what is its function in sex determination? 3.3 Discuss why knowing an individual is XX or XY in terms of chromosomes is not sufficient to know their biological sex. 3.4 Define intersex.
