Answer: The primary sex characteristics include the gonads, and the internal/external reproductive structures which are formed during the prenatal period. In contrast, the secondary sex characteristics develop in response to hormone stimulation during puberty. For a male, these include a beard and a deep voice, while for a female these would include development of breasts and wide hips.
