When a fetus is developing, until what stage does the male and 
female fetus look and "act" the same.  is the development of the 
nipple the point of the differentiation between the sexes?  Is 
the basic anatomy of the fetus developed when the nipple 
develops?  Dose it have something to do with the ceriole cells 
(in males)?
