The correct answer is secondary sex characteristics.
The correct answer is secondary sex characteristics.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the question and eliminate the incorrect options.
The question asks for characteristics caused by hormones that do not include the development of reproductive organs. This means we are looking for traits that are influenced by hormones but are not directly related to the reproductive system.
First, let's eliminate the option "primary sex characteristics." Primary sex characteristics refer to the development of reproductive organs, such as the ovaries, testes, , and uterus. Since the question explicitly excludes the development of reproductive organs, this option is incorrect.
Next, let's eliminate the options "physical characteristics" and "body characteristics." While hormones can influence physical and body characteristics to some extent, these terms are broad and encompass a wide range of traits. The question specifies that the characteristics we are seeking are related to hormones but are not directly tied to reproductive organ development. Therefore, these options are not specific enough to be the correct answer.
This leaves us with the option "secondary sex characteristics." Secondary sex characteristics refer to the physical traits that develop during puberty under the influence of hormones. Examples of secondary sex characteristics include breast development in females, facial hair growth in males, deepening of voice, development of sweat glands, and changes in body odor. These characteristics are influenced by hormones but are not directly related to the development of reproductive organs. This makes "secondary sex characteristics" the correct answer to the question.
