The characteristics caused by hormones but that do not include the development of reproductive organs are called secondary sex characteristics. These traits typically develop during puberty and differ between males and females, such as facial hair, breast development, and changes in voice pitch. Primary sex characteristics, on the other hand, refer to the reproductive organs themselves, like the testes and ovaries.
