Question
Abnormalities in the number of $X$ chromosomes tend to be milder than the same abnormalities in autosomes because of ______.a. deletionsb. nonhomologous recombinationC. synapsisd. $\mathrm{X}$ inactivation
Step 1
X inactivation 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 it being packaged in such a way that it has a transcriptionally inactive structure called Show more…
