Hermaphroditism

Description:

Hermaphroditism refers to the condition of having both male and female reproductive organs in a single individual. It can occur in various organisms such as plants, animals, and even humans. Hermaphroditism challenges traditional binary notions of gender and sexual dimorphism.

Examples:

1. The snails in this species exhibit simultaneous hermaphroditism, possessing both male and female reproductive organs.

2. Certain plant species display sequential hermaphroditism, where individuals change their sex from one stage of their life cycle to another.

3. Intersex individuals, born with both male and female biological features, exemplify human hermaphroditism.
