Biology

Answer:

X inactivation

Explanation:

The female mammals have double the number of X-linked genes as compared to their counterpart males. During early embryonic development, either the maternal or paternal X chromosome in all the cells of a female is inactivated by the process of heterochromatinization. The inactivated X chromosome is present in the form of a Barr body. This inactivation of the X chromosome is a random event.

The inactivated X chromosome of a cell remains in the same state in all of its progeny cells. In this way, the process of X inactivation balances the dosages of X-linked genes between males and females.

What boundaries create new oceanic crust?​
enyata [817]
ANSWER ( Convergent plate boundaries )

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.
