2.5% (but not really, also remember the chromosomes have different sizes). this is probably why distribution of traits in men has fatter tails than in women.

- grumpy-de-sre 1y agoI couldn't be assed to do the math, not just chromosome size but also number of genes etc, get's tricky to quantify. Fascinating to think about the variability introduced by having only a single copy of the X chromosome. Lot's of interesting genes in there, MAOA/MAOB (primary neurotransmitter breakdown pathways), AR (androgen receptor), OPN1LW/OPN1MW (red green color blindness), G6PD, etc.
