| − | The '''male''' sex refers to that division of a species which produces [[sperm]]. In most [[mammal]]s, sperm develops inside the [[testes]]. Sperm allows the propigration of the species to continue through the creation of offspring. In humans, an XY sex [[chromosome]] structure is a male and a XX sex chromosome structure is a [[female]]. The process of going from a child to developing the secondary sex characteristics that cause full maturation takes place mostly in [[puberty]]. | + | The '''male''' sex refers to that division of a species which produces [[sperm]].
