Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for muscle growth and the growth of body and facial hair during puberty. Estrogen is the female sex hormone and is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics. Adrenal androgens also contribute to male secondary sexual characteristic development but to a lesser extent than testosterone. Thyroxine is a thyroid hormone and is not directly involved in male sexual development.
