Causes fetal gonads to develop as testes shortly after fertilization.
Explanation:
The SRY gene is a sex-determining gene that is located on the Y chromosome. It is responsible for the production of a protein which is a testis-determining factor that enhances the development of a testis.
The SRY gene plays an important role in gender determination. Mutations that takes place in the SRY gene give rise to XY females with gonadal dysgenesis which is a developmental disorder of the reproductive system in the male or female. The individuals appear to be normal females at birth, but during the stage of puberty, they do not develop secondary sexual characteristics, they do not menstruate, and have fibrous gonads that does not contain eggs.
