... The body cells of humans have 46 chromosomes that form 23 pairs. Chromosomes are made up of many genes joined together. You have 23 pairs of chromosome. Each chromosome has 200 – 3000 genes. Therefore, you have between 20,000 – 25,000 genes. Each gene controls a trait. About Chromosome 1 Chromosome ...

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.
