Gender typing- the process by which children acquire behaviors deemed appropriate for their sex. Sexual differentiation- the process by which males and females develop distinct reproductive anatomy. 3 weeks, a primitive heart begins to drive blood through the embryonic bloodstream. 7th week of prenatal development, stands of tissue begin to organize into seminiferous tubules female gonads develop later than male gonads ovaries formed at 11-12 weeks. Chromosome- a rodlike structure found in the nucleus of every living cell. It carries the genetic code in the form of genes. Embryo- the stage of prenatal development that begins with implantation of a fertilized ovum in the uterus and concludes with development of a major organ system at about 2 months after conception. Sex hormones and sexual differentiation produce sex hormones or androgens. Testosterone- the male sex hormone that fosters development of male sex characteristics and is connected with the sex drive.
