Female foetal development. Image 1 of 5. Computer artwork of the yet undifferentiated genitalia of a female foetus. The front of the body is at top right. At this stage it looks identical to a male foetus' genitalia (see image P680/0960). The transformation takes place at twelve weeks when the tubercule (bump at centre) develops either into a penis (male) or a clitoris (female). For a full sequence showing the development of female genitalia see images P680/0955 to P680/0959. For a full sequence showing the development of male genitalia see images P680/0960 to P680/0964.
