Hermaphroditism

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 ...

Unusual dual genital duct remnants in true hermaphroditism.

A case of true hermaphroditism is reported in which a 46,XY karyotype was associated with a testis and an ovotestis. The dual presence of a Fallopian tube and a vas deferens on the side of the ovotestis is documented as a previously unreported finding.

Phylogenetic perspectives on the evolution of functional hermaphroditism in teleost fishes.

Hermaphroditism is taxonomically widespread among teleost fishes and takes on many forms including simultaneous, protogynous, and protandrous hermaphroditism, bidirectional sex change, and androdioecy. The proximate mechanisms that influence the timing, incidence, and forms of hermaphroditism in fishes are supported by numerous theoretical and empirical studies on their mating systems and sexua...

On the Atypical Male and Female Sex-Ensemble (So-Called Hermaphroditism and Pseudo-Hermaphroditism)

has celebrated. 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 ...
