* Early development of gonads proceeds similarly in both sexes. The gonads are derived from two distinct tissues:
* Early development of gonads proceeds similarly in both sexes. The gonads are derived from two distinct tissues:
** '''Somatic mesenchymal tissue''' forms the matrix of the gonad
** '''Somatic mesenchymal tissue''' forms the matrix of the gonad
* In absence of these testicular hormones, female differentiation occurs.
* In absence of these testicular hormones, female differentiation occurs.
* Thus, sexual differentiation must be actively diverted down the male route, the female route requires no active intervention.
