A fetus has an XX genotype but is exposed to abnormally high levels of testosterone during critical periods of development. Which of the following is the most likely outcome for this individual? Question 2 options: a) The individual will develop ovaries and fully typical female reproductive structures, as chromosomal sex determines gonadal differentiation. b) The Müllerian ducts will degenerate, leading to the absence of female reproductive structures despite the XX genotype. c) The individual will develop ambiguous or masculinized external genitalia while still having ovaries and internal female reproductive structures. d) The presence of testosterone will override chromosomal sex, leading to the complete development of testes instead of ovaries. e) The individual will develop as fully male, including both internal and external reproductive structures, because testosterone is the primary determinant of sex.
