Becoming male

Research has identified the key to becoming a male is an enzyme that unravels DNA to trigger male development in the embryo, a discovery that may give greater insight into intersex disorders.

According to Professor Peter Koopman from the University of Queensland’s Molecular Bioscience Department, “Most mammals, including humans and mice, are programmed to develop as females unless a specific Y-chromosome gene called Sry is present to trigger male development during embryonic life.”

Hmm… The gene is called Sry… So, if you’re male, at least the gene apologised!!! :)

Go Science!!!
