Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of secondary sexual characteristics provides external signs of the approach of puberty in both boys and girls. These characteristics include changes in body hair, breast development, voice changes, and growth of facial hair. While secondary sexual characteristics are linked to reproductive functions, they do not directly involve the reproductive organs themselves.
