The determination of sex and sexual phenotypes in a male organism's soma. The determination of sex and sexual phenotypes in a female organism's soma. A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The determination of sex and sexual phenotypes in an organism's soma. The transmission of information about sexual status from the initial, general, determination to signals specific to the soma. The determination of sex and sexual phenotypes in a hermaphroditic organism's soma. An example of this is found in Caenorhabditis elegans. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a multicellular organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult). Any process that establishes and transmits the specification of sexual status of an individual organism.
