That is a question that seems to be answered in the affirmative, at least for mice. A recent study of mice found that by switching one gene (for those into such things, the Trpc2 gene) off the female mice engaged in strictly male behavior such as mounting, pelvic thrusting, and making male calls. Seems this particular gene is responsible for the functioning of a part of the mouse nose that is involved in sensing pheromones.
