Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Androgens are male sex hormones, which stimulate the development of male physical characteristics such as deepening of the voice, facial and body hair growth, and increased muscle mass. Therefore, Fritz, being male, is more likely to have greater levels of androgens than his sisters, who are female. Estradiol is a female sex hormone and progesterone is important in the menstrual cycle, so they are not likely to be more present in Fritz. SRY is a gene responsible for male development, but it is not a hormone.
