Skewed X Inactivation
Skewed X inactivation reveals that the inactivation of X chromosomes is not uniform across all cells, leading to varying expressions of traits in individuals. This phenomenon challenges the traditional understanding of X-linked recessive traits, suggesting that many traits exist on a spectrum rather than a strict dominant-recessive scale. As a result, the expression of certain genes may be limited to specific cell types, complicating how we perceive genetic inheritance.In this clip
