dosage compensation


dosage compensation

[′dō·sij ‚käm·pən‚sā·shən] (genetics) A mechanism that equalizes the expression in males and females of genes located on the X chromosome, despite their presence in two doses in the homogametic sex and a single dose in the heterogametic sex. A mechanism that equalizes the expression of X-linked and autosomal genes by doubling the expression level of X-linked genes in male Drosophila and in both male and female mammals with their single active X.

dosage compensation


dosage compensation

a genetical mechanism in which ALLELES of a gene automatically regulate the amount of a useful product produced, so that homozygous-dominant GENOTYPES produce the same amount of gene product as heterozygotes. In this way the two genotypes cannot be distinguished. Dosage compensation occurs regularly in female mammals where one X-chromosome in each cell is thought to become inactivated, leading to equal amounts of gene products in males and females. See INACTIVE-X HYPOTHESIS.
