In sexually dimorphic organisms, hermaphroditism may occur because of variations in the genetic code. The term *hermaphrodite* is considered to be misleading, stigmatizing, and scientifically specious in reference to humans. For this reason, in humans the term *intersex* is typically used. :interlexIdentifier: http://uri.interlex.org/base/ilx_0104963 :name: hermaphrodite :preferredOntologyIdentifier: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0001340 `BACK TO TOP `_ ------------ male ---- .. admonition:: metadata sheet :@context: @vocab: :@id: https://openminds.ebrains.eu/instances/biologicalSex/male :@type: https://openminds.ebrains.eu/controlledTerms/BiologicalSex :definition: Biological sex that produces sperm cells (spermatozoa). :description: A male organism typically has the capacity to produce relatively small, usually mobile gametes (reproductive cells), called sperm cells (or spermatozoa).
