As we have focused on sex differentiation, sex chromosomes, and genetic mechanisms involved in sex determination. At the same time, we found manyopportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by whichmuch of this information was acquired. From the explanationsgiven in the chapter, you should answer the following fundamentalquestion: How do we know that X chromosomal inactivation of eitherthe paternal or maternal homolog is a random event duringearly development in mammalian females?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
