Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary sex characteristics are physical signs of sexual maturation that do not directly involve the reproductive organs. Examples include breast development in females, facial hair in males, and changes in body shape. Primary sex characteristics, on the other hand, are directly related to the reproductive organs and processes. There are no widely recognized tertiary or quaternary sex characteristics in human biology.
