| 释义 | inactive-X hypothesisinactive-X hypothesisorLyon hypothesisan explanation for DOSAGE COMPENSATION in the X-chromosomes of mammals including humans, proposed by Mary Lyon. The main features of the hypothesis are that only one X-chromosome is active in a mature mammalian cell, all other X-chromosomes present having been inactivated during embryological development. Different X-chromosomes are thought to be inactivated in different cells, which may produce a MOSAIC phenotype in heterozygous individuals. BARR BODIES are thought to indicate the presence of inactive X-chromosomes. |
