This poetical and transcendental idea has so dominated the lay and scientific mind that even now the question of hermaphroditism in the mammalia is discussed and supported by the description of specimens with alleged ova and spermatozoa in a common sex gland, or of those where the opposite sex-duct element is unduly represented at the expense, we shall see, of the potent normal tract.

Building on the Bateman principle – access to eggs, not sperm, limi...

This paper focusses on self-incompatible simultaneous hermaphroditism in animals. It proposes that such hermaphroditism is not stable in sufficiently heterogeneous populations, suggesting a possible reason for why hermaphroditism is rare among evolved a...

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mosaic mutation of SRY gene induces hermaphroditism in rabbits

Hermaphroditism is a rare disorder that affects sexual development, resulting in individuals with both male and female sexual organs. Hermaphroditism is caused by anomalies in genes regulating sex determination, gonad development, or expression of hormones and their receptors during embryonic development during sexual differentiation. SRY is a sex-determination gene on the Y chromosome that is ...

Gonadal dysgenesis

Disorders of sex development (DSD), previously referred to as intersex disorders, comprise a variety of congenital diseases with anomalies of the sex chromosome, the gonads, the reproductive ducts and the genitalia. DSD is loosely classified into four groups on the basis of histological features of the gonadal tissue: XX-DSD with two ovaries (female pseudohermaphroditism), XY-DSD with two testi...
