Hermaphroditism
Definition:
(n.) The union of the two sexes in the same individual, or the combination of some of their characteristics or organs in one individual.

(2) These cells are also present in hermaphrodites, where they have minor structural roles in the rectum.
(3) Male sex determination in sporadic, and familial Y-ve XX males and true hermaphrodites is likely to be the result of mutation in an X-linked TDF gene and its consequent escape from the constraints of X-inactivation.
