Q99.1: 46,XX true hermaphrodite
The gonads include the ovaries and testes. Mature eggs are normally formed in the ovaries. The testes normally form the sperm.
The gonads also normally form female and male sex hormones. The sex hormones are, among other things, important for the development of the sex organs in the womb. In puberty, the sex hormones are also important for sexual development.
A disorder of the gonads can be caused by a change in genetic information.
There are different disorders of the gonads that are accompanied by various symptoms. With certain disorders the internal and external sex organs may look different than for most other people. Puberty can also be different than usual depending on the disorder. Disorders of the gonads can also affect fertility. You may then be unable to have any of your own children.
