Question

why do sex organs fully develop during adolescence and not right from the birth of an individual.

Answer 1

The reproductive organs fully develop when a child reaches to adolescence because at this age body produces certain hormones which lead to reproductive maturity.

At adolescence, when puberty hits- it is a clear sign that a person is capable of reproduction.

At birth, there are certain reproductive hormones which are either not released or release in significantly low amount that they perform no function which is why the reproductive organs grow along with time as a person grows up.

Answer 2

Answer:

Individuals undergo its own development and maturation from birth to adolescence.

Explanation:

• The total energy in an individual is constant and the process of reproduction demands huge energy.
• After birth, it is necessary for the individual to undergo its own physical and mental development, obtain sufficient nutrition and develop the potential to feed, nourish and protect itself.
• This is necessary because in order to provide nutrition, care and protection to young ones, the individual itself needs to be strong enough.
• From birth to adolescence, most of the energy of the individual is utilised for its own development.
• At adolescence, part of the individual's energy is channelised towards its sexual development where its sexual organ matures and hormones that initiate the process of reproduction begin to get synthesised and released.
