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 whose specific outcome is the progression of the secondary female sexual characteristics over time, from their formation to the mature structures. In female humans, these include growth of axillary and pubic hair, breast development and menstrual periods. Their development occurs in response to sex hormone secretion. The establishment of the sex of a female organism by physical differentiation. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the secondary sexual characteristics over time, from their formation to the mature structures. In humans, these include growth of axillary, chest, and pubic hair, voice changes, testicular/penile enlargement, breast development and menstrual periods. Development occurs in response to sex hormone secretion. The establishment of the sex of an organism by physical differentiation. 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). Cessation of menstruation, occurring in (e.g.) the human female usually around the age of 50. The beginning of the menstrual cycle; the first menstrual cycle in an individual. The beginning of development of the breasts in the female.
