<blockquote><font face="Arial" size="+2">"Beyond Sex: X
Chromosome Inactivation"</font></blockquote>
<blockquote><font face="Arial" size="-1">X and Y chromosomes make us
male and female. But they have to do more than specify sex.
In fact, one of the two female X chromosomes is shut off during female
development to balance gene dosage between the sexes and allow for
normal development.</font></blockquote>
