Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Wolffian ducts can differentiate into male reproductive tract structures under the influence of testosterone in males, while they degenerate in females as they are not maintained by any hormonal influence. Therefore, option B is correct. However, they do not develop into male external genitalia. Instead, the differentiation of external genitalia occurs with the help of dihydrotestosterone. Therefore, option C is incorrect. Hence, the correct option is D, which includes both correct statements.
