Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of secondary sex characteristics: These are features that appear during puberty and are not directly involved in reproduction but distinguish the two sexes.

Identify examples of secondary sex characteristics in males: These include the development of facial hair, deepening of the voice, and increased muscle mass.

Consider the role of hormones: Secondary sex characteristics are typically influenced by sex hormones such as testosterone in males and estrogen in females.

Differentiate between primary and secondary sex characteristics: Primary sex characteristics are directly involved in reproduction, such as the formation of primary sex organs and production of gametes, while secondary sex characteristics are not.

Evaluate the options given: Development of facial hair in males is a secondary sex characteristic, while increase in height can be influenced by puberty but is not exclusive to one sex. Production of gametes and formation of primary sex organs are primary sex characteristics.
