Weismann speculated that the chromosomes of the sex cells were the carriers of his germsplasm, but he erred in assuming that each chromosome could contain all hereditary material.

When independent assortment occurs it results in predictable frequencies of F2 progeny. 3. Test crosses are more effective than F2 cr ...

In a paper published in 1866, Mendel correctly argued that parents pass on to their offspring discrete heritable factors. Mendel stressed that the heritable ...

The norm of reaction is the phenotypic range of a genotype influenced by the environment. For example, hydrangea flowers of the same genotype range from blue-violet to pink ...

X-inactivation



X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the two copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated. The inactive X chromosome is silenced by its being packaged in such a way that it has a transcriptionally inactive structure called heterochromatin. As nearly all female mammals have two X chromosomes, X-inactivation prevents them from having twice as many X chromosome gene products as males, who only possess a single copy of the X chromosome (see dosage compensation). The choice of which X chromosome will be inactivated is random in placental mammals such as humans, but once an X chromosome is inactivated it will remain inactive throughout the lifetime of the cell and its descendants in the organism. Unlike the random X-inactivation in placental mammals, inactivation in marsupials applies exclusively to the paternally derived X chromosome.
