Do X- or Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa competes with older eggs in human?Human spermatozoa pass a torturous journey during fertilization. A slight deviation from 1:1 has been observed in the sex ratio and a
Refers to a pattern of inheritance in which a one allelic variant in an autosomal location (i.e., not on the X or Y chromosome) is sufficient to produce a trait or a disease. From:Precision Medicine and the Reinvention of Human Disease,2018 ...
(SRY). The gene located on the Y chromosome that is responsible for male sex determination in almost all placental mammals. Imprinting An epigenetic process that, through methylation and histone modification, tags the chromosomes inherited from the mother or the father and results in differential gen...
while males have an X and a Y chromosome. Males get their single X chromosome only from their mothers and their Y chromosome only from their fathers. In other species, for example, birds and rattlesnakes, the male has two copies of a Z chromosome, while the female has a Z and a W....
X chromosome reactivation Due to X chromosome inactivation (XCI), that is, the random silencing of one X chromosome, RTT patients are mosaics of cells expressing either normal or mutated MECP2. Cells expressing mutated MECP2 retain a normal but silent copy of MECP2 on the inactive X chromo...
the influence of a single X chromosome in males can produce GMV in trait quantity or quality (see text) Full size image It should be noted that the averaging of the Xm and Xp distributions to produce the distributions for females in the center panels of Fig. 2 weighted the Xm and Xp ...

The Y chromosome contains genes for male development and fertility. Y染色体包含与男性特征和生殖系统相关的基因。 The X chromosome, on the other hand, contains important genes for things other than sex determination or reproduction, 而X染色体则包含除性征和生殖之外其他发展所需要的基因, like nervous sy...
When Xist expression is increased from one X chromosome in pre-X-chromosome-inactivation cells, that X chromosome always becomes the XI and the wild-type X always becomes the XA [7]. In female ES cells or embryos in which Xist is disrupted on one X chromosome, the mutant X chromosome ...
SD of all X-chromosome clones was calculated for each hybridization experiment. Genomic imbalances were determined based on log2 of the Cy5/Cy3 ratios of the average of the four replicates, and regions were considered as duplicated or deleted when at least two consecutive clones exceeded the ± ...
