The two main tissues responsible for structural support in the body are called the compact bone and the ligaments.

The Compact bone is a dense bone in which the bony matrix is solidly filled with organic ground substance and inorganic salts, leaving only tiny spaces (lacunae) that contain the osteocytes, or bone cells.

A Ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. It also supports the internal organs.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

The options are

a. A lack of estradiol.

b. Moderate levels of estradiol during an early stage of development.

c. A high level of testosterone during an early stage of development.

d. A high level of testosterone during the late part of puberty.

The answer is b. Moderate levels of estradiol during an early stage of development.

Testosterone is a hormone which is responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics of a male while estradiol is the hormone responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics of a female.

This is why estradiol is the hormone responsible in female development regardless of the chromosomes
