- Explain the hormone system that leads to the secretion of testosterone in biologic males OR estrogen in biologic females (choose one)
- Imelda's "condition" (since it doesn't have much ill-effect on personal health, I'm loathe to label this anything other than a natural variant) involves a testosterone-receptor that does not bind testosterone. Would this receptor (whether it's the common variant or not) be inside of cells or on the surface of cells? Explain. This is a review question from WAAY back at the beginning of the quarter!
- Why did Imelda have the genetic signature of a biologic male and have testes, yet have the general phenotype and self-identification (ie, brain wiring- which is based on a combination of genetics, hormones, and environment) of a female?
- Do you think there could be other variations of genes that could affect hormone systems, either related to gender/sex, or to other aspects of physiology? Explain.
