Question

Accessory sexual characters first appear in:

• A. Childhood
• B. Puberty
• C. Foetus
• D. Adulthood

Answer 1

The correct option is B Puberty

Puberty is a process of sexual maturity which is regulated by several hormones which bring a remarkable change in the human body.

In males, puberty begins between ages 10 and 12 and continues until ages 16 to 18. Testosterone directly affects muscle and bone and stimulates the adolescent growth spurt in males at puberty.

In females, oestrogens are responsible for the growth of the sex organs at puberty, for body growth and for the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

So, the correct answer is option B.
