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. The process by which the anatomical structures of the external genitalia are generated and organized. The external genitalia are the outer sex organs, such as the penis or vulva in mammals. The process by which the anatomical structures of genitalia are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The genitalia are the organs of reproduction or generation, external and internal. Morphogenesis of an organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the genitalia over time, from its formation to the mature structure.
