Answer:
In male embryos, it is responsible for preventing the further development of the mammary bud. PTHrP produced by the bud itself stimulates the bud cells to make receptors for the 'male' hormones circulating in male embryos. This feedback mechanism causes the mammary cells to stop developing and eventually to degenerate

Answer:
The mammary gland is a highly evolved and specialized organ present in pairs, one on each side of the anterior chest wall. The organ's primary function is to secrete milk. Though it is present in both sexes, it is well developed in females and rudimentary in males.
