Question

characteristics caused by hormones but that do not include development of reproductive organs are called (1 point) primary sex characteristics. secondary sex characteristics. physical characteristics. body characteristics.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Primary sex characteristics involve the development of reproductive organs, so this is incorrect.
• Secondary sex characteristics are hormone - caused traits that do not include the development of reproductive organs (e.g., facial hair in males, breast development in females).
• "Physical characteristics" is a very broad term and does not specifically refer to hormone - caused traits related to sex that exclude reproductive organ development.
• "Body characteristics" is also a broad term and not specific to this definition.

Answer:

B. secondary sex characteristics.
