__________________________ are considered XY and do not have androgen receptors in their cells because of a genetic error.
A) Congenital adrenal hyperplasia females
B) Pelvic-field defect males and females
C) Androgen-insensitive males
D) CAH males

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Androgen-insensitive males, also known as an individual with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), lack the ability to respond to male sex hormones (androgens) due to a genetic mutation in the androgen receptor gene located on the X chromosome. This leads to feminization of the body despite having XY chromosomes. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) females and males may have abnormal hormone levels due to genetic mutations affecting the steroid synthesis pathways, but they would still have androgen receptors in their cells. Pelvic-field defect is not a recognized medical condition.
