Hermaphroditism: Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders |
 | | Among human beings, hermaphroditism is an extremely rare anomaly in which gonads for both sexes are present. |
 | | External genitalia may show traits of both sexes, and in which the chromosomes show male-female mosaicism (where one individual possesses both the male XY and female XX chromosome pairs). |
 | | However, gonads are often (but not always) recognizable as testes. |
