Fetal Development: Understanding Clitoris and Genital Formation

Question
I have a question about fetus development.I read or was told some time back that the reason why a CLITORIS resembles a penis head is because during development of the fetus if it were to be male it the clitoris would form into a penis, and if it were to be female the vagina would form and the clitoris would stay as is.
thanks Lynn

Answer
In embryonic development, if the tissue is destined to become a male, a penis is formed with a scrotum.  If a female is developed, the scrotum develops into a vagina and the penis develops into a clitoris. They do not switch from one to the other but are similar organs depending on gender.
