Answer

  1. Testes fail to descend into the scrotum.

Explanation:

The condition of undescended testis is called as cryptorchidism. 

During embryonic life, the testes develop within the abdominal cavity but descend into the scrotum prior to birth. 

If they fail to do this and the condition is not corrected, infertility is likely to follow and the risk of testicular cancer is increased.
