Spectrum of Sex [E-Book] : The Molecular Bases that Induce Various Sexual Phenotypes / edited by Minoru Tanaka, Makoto Tachibana.
This book introduces cutting-edge studies on the spectrum of sex. The sex spectrum can be understood as an interwoven mechanism sustaining graded phenotypes between the two sexes. The book overviews three elements that develop the sex spectrum: genetics, the endocrine system, and the environment. Pa...
