Which occurs only in the absence of a Y chromosome? Proximal archinephric ducts form the epididymis. Cranial paramesonephric ducts flare into funnel shapes. Proximal Mullerian ducts form the seminiferous tubules. Mullerian Inhibitory Substances are released.

An infant with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is found to harbor mutations of alleles that map to chromosome 16p13.3. The pathogenesis of this disease is characterized by epithelial hyperplasia that leads to the development of small multifocal lesions of the proximal tubules and cyst formation. Therefore, a likely function of the gene product disrupted in this mutation is which of the following? A. Angiogenesis B. Cell cycle regulation C. Apoptosis D. Cell migration E. Differentiation The genital ridge: 1. Develops only in the caudal part of the embryo. 2. Finds itself lateral to the nephrogenic cord. 3. Forms the gonads that are fixed caudally by the upper gubernaculum. 4. Arises from the intermediate mesoderm. 5. The lower gubernaculum is an embryonic structure that disappears following birth.
