I'm fascinated by the theory of increased variability in males being caused by brain-related genes in the X chromosome. I'd highly recommend checking out pages 18 and 19.
- george_pavlov 14y agoWhile an interesting hypothesis, it seems unlikely: one copy of each x-chromosome is deactivated in each cell, and this is done randomly in development.
- barry-cotter 14y agoThis is one of the reasons women have superior colour vision to men so it's likely enough. Some women have two different types of red cones while men have a maximum of one. There are many other sex linked diseases as well. Unless an allele is fully dominant if it's on the X chromosome men will display hreater variance.
