Introducing biological influences on gender



Work for next Wednesday:
Read your textbook and try to find one other text or on-line source, then make notes on the following:
  • What are ‘sex chromosomes’ and what are they in males and females? 
  • What are ‘hormones’ and ‘androgens’? Give an example of the latter. 
  • What affect do sex hormones have on brain development in utero? – nuclei in the hypothalamus are different at birth 
  • What happens if a person doesn’t respond to androgens?
Research and produce a very short (2 or 3 slide) powerpoint presentation on abnormal chromosomal and hormonal conditions, and the gender identities / behaviours that result from these, for Wednesday's lesson.
