  1. Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation | PPT

    It explains that females have two X chromosomes while males have one, so females inactivate one X chromosome randomly in each cell early in development. This process, called Lyonization, equalizes X-linked gene expression between males and females.

  2. Sex chromatin and lyon's hypothesis and bar body | PPT

    Lyon's hypothesis states that in females, either the maternal or paternal X chromosome is randomly inactivated in each cell early in development so that only one X chromosome is functional per cell. This process of X chromosome inactivation is called Lyonization.

    Lyon hypothesis (now Lyon Law) to explain X chromosome dosage: •One X is inactivated in females •X-inactivation occurs in early development •~2 weeks after fertilization, ~100’s cell stage/blastocyst •Must be re-activated in the germline •X-inactivation is random •X inactivation is clonal (females are essentially mosaics for X ...

  4. X chromosome Inactivation | PPT - SlideShare

    X inactivation is the process by which one of the two X chromosomes in female mammals is randomly inactivated. This occurs early in embryonic development through the expression of long non-coding Xist RNA from the future inactive X chromosome, which coats and silences that chromosome.

  5. X-inactivation - Wikipedia

    X-inactivation (also called Lyonization, after English geneticist Mary Lyon) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome is inactivated in therian female mammals. The inactive X chromosome is silenced by being packaged into a transcriptionally inactive structure called heterochromatin .

  6. X-inactivation: Lyon hypothesis: placental mammals randomly ...

    1 X-inactivation: Lyon hypothesis: placental mammals randomly inactivate all but 1 X at the cell embryo stage (blastocyst). 2 The inactivated X's become Barr bodies: late-replicating condensed chromatin sitting on the nuclear membrane (heterochromatin).

  8. Lyon Hypothesis - SpringerLink

    Lyon Hypothesis. Postulates that in mammalian cells with more than one X chromosome, usually all but one are heteropycnotic (highly condensed and thus dark-stained at all stages) and form n–1 Barr bodies. The heteropycnosis may not affect the entire length of the chromosome equally.

    Mary Lyon • Why should females have two X chromosomes while healthy males only have one? • The Lyon Hypothesis: Only one X chromosome is used by your cell. The other one is ignored. • What evidence should we look for? The Barr Body • Robert Barr spotted these blobs of chromatin coiled up inside the cell nuclei of females.

    Textbook Question. In this chapter, we focused on extranuclear inheritance and how traits can be determined by genetic information contained in mitochondria and chloroplasts, and we discussed how expression of maternal genotypes can affect the phenotype of an organism.
