Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a condition where a person who is genetically male (with one X and one Y chromosome) is resistant to male hormones (called androgens). As a result, the person has some or all of the physical traits of a woman, but the genetic makeup of a man. In untreated AIS, individuals typically have female external genitalia (A), testes that are often undescended (B), and breast growth at puberty (C) due to the body's partial or complete inability to respond to androgens. However, they do not develop female internal reproductive organs such as ovaries or a uterus (D), which is why D is the correct answer. The inability to have children (E) is also a characteristic of untreated AIS, due to the absence of female internal reproductive organs and the non-functional testes.
