To explain: Why puberty occurs too late or too early in some individuals.
Introduction: Reproductive system is used for the sexual reproduction. Reproductive system consists of a series of organs that secrete hormones called sex hormones. The onset of the puberty is marked by development of secondary sex characteristics, rapid growth, and ability to reproduce.

Explanation of Solution
Alteration in the reproductive system includes a wide range of concern about delay in sexual development and its performance. Congenital and endocrine disorder that causes structural and functional abnormalities can disturb the timing of puberty. The delayed and early puberty is caused by inappropriate production of sex hormones. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis plays an important role in hormonal regulation for puberty. Low testosterone hormone level in male and low estrogen hormone level in female have important roles in the delayed puberty and vice versa.
