Gonad Morphogenesis in Vertebrates: Divergent Means to a Convergent End

6 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

A critical element of successful sexual reproduction is the generation of sexually dimorphic adult reproductive organs, the testis and ovary, which produce functional gametes. Examination of different vertebrate species shows that the adult gonad is remarkably similar in its morphology across different phylogenetic classes. Surprisingly, however, the cellular and molecular programs employed to create similar...
