“Unlocking the Mystery of X-Inactivation: How Female Cells Silence Genes”

Описание: Unlock the mystery of X-inactivation with the Lyon Hypothesis! Learn how female cells silence genes and the importance of genetic dosage in this informative video. #barrbody
#inactivation, also known as #Lyonization, is a fascinating process that occurs in female mammals. In female mammals, there are two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. To ensure that females do not produce twice as many X chromosome gene products as males, one of the X chromosomes in each cell is randomly inactivated during early embryonic development. X-inactivation is essential for dosage compensation, ensuring that females do not have a double dose of X-linked genes, which could be harmful. This process is also responsible for phenomena such as the patchy fur coloration seen in calico cats, where different cells inactivate different X chromosomes, leading to a mosaic of colors.For more such videos do like, share and subscribe to our channel  @basicbiologyoflife5603
