This chapter will highlight the molecular mechanisms underpinning these two processes. During the first 2 weeks of human embryonic development, the only difference between XX and XY embryos is their karyotype. At the two‐cell stage of the XX zygote, X chromosome inactivation occurs, enabling males and females to have equal transcript levels from the X chromosome (Huynh and Lee 2001). In developing germ cells, the X is reactivated in the female, so both X chromosomes contribute to oogenesis (Sugimoto and Abe 2007).","PeriodicalId":448661,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Reproductive Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128995325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
