SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT TIMETABLE BY GENDER AGE Kind Of Sex MEN WOMEN 6 weeks Chromosomal XY XX Gonadal Undifferentiated 7-12 weeks Testes Ovaries 12-17 weeks Hormonal Estrogen, Testosterone, and Mullerian Inhibiting Substance Estrogen Genital Mullerian ducts degenerate (MIS). The Wolffian ducts differentiate into epididymis, vas deferens, and ejaculatory duct. Wolffian ducts degenerate (automatically). The Mullerian ducts differentiate into fallopian tubes, uterus, and upper vagina 12-20 weeks Penis and descended testes Outer vagina and clitoris Glans and Genital Tubercle become Glans (head of) penis Clitoris Urethral Fold becomes Shaft of the penis Labia minoria Urogenital Slit becomes Raphe (seam at base of penis) Vaginal orifice Labioscrotal Swelling becomes Scrotum Labia majora SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT TIMETABLE BY GENDER
