Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The small structure present at the fetal stage is the genital tubercle which can develop into either a penis in males or a clitoris in females. It does not disappear completely but rather develops into the clitoris, which is a homologous structure to the penis in males. The vagina and labia develop from separate embryonic structures.
