Sex determination in mammals is mediated via the supporting cell lineage in the fetal gonad. In the very early stages of gonadal development, the fate of the supporting cell population is critically dependent on the expression of the male-determining gene on the Y chromosome. If this gene is absent

## Abstract Previous studies of the reproductive biology and genetics of European moles (__Talpa__ spp.) showed that all females of these species have ovotestes (gonads with testicular and ovarian tissue) instead of normal ovaries, a unique specialization among mammals. Females are fertile as their
Suspensions of cells obtained from genital ridges and gonads of bovine embryos of 1.0-3.4 cm in crown-rump (C-R) length were used for studies of the metabolism of radiolabeled exogenous steroid precursor. Tritiated androstenedione was employed as precursor and the final products of their metabolism
