For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_DEVELOPMENT_OF_PRIMARY_SEXUAL_CHARACTERISTICS

Standard name GOBP_DEVELOPMENT_OF_PRIMARY_SEXUAL_CHARACTERISTICS
Systematic name M16813
Brief description The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the primary sexual characteristics over time, from their formation to the mature structures. The primary sexual characteristics are the testes in males and the ovaries in females and they develop in response to sex hormone secretion. [GOC:ai]
