Is it possible for an XY embryo to develop as a female if the SRY gene on the Y chromosome is not present?
UnWarierMage224
In humans, yes.
By default, humans are female. A functional SRY gene stimulates the body to produce male characteristics that override the underlying female pattern. If the SRY gene is absent (or, as sometimes happens, mutated) an individual who is chromosomally XY will develop as a female. This is one cause of Swyer syndrome.

What determines whether the indifferent gonads in a mammalian embryo will develop into ovaries or testes?
It probably has to do with the predetermination of the baby's sex. If the father contributed a Y chromosome, then the indifferent gonads would develop into testes. If an X was contributed then they would develop into ovaries.
What is y-chromosoze?
Y chromosome is the 2nd chromosome in a male homolouge it has the contribution in sex determination of the embryo.
What chromosome tells us the sex of a human?
The X and Y sex chromosomes. If the embryo inherits an X and Y chromosome, it will be male. If the embryo inherits two X chromosomes, it will be female.
Where are seeds made in flowers?

How does a bear embryo develop?
