Medical visualization taken from human scanned data showing the difference between the initial development of a clitoris and penis. The genital tubercle may develop into either a penis or a clitoris. Boys and girls differ genetically, but in the early stages of development their sex organs are identical. In month 3, a protrusion known as a genital tubercle emerges. If its urethral groove an opening in its middle remains open, it becomes a clitoris. If the groove closes, it becomes a penis. | |
