女性天生拥有两条X染色体，一条来自母亲，另一条来自父亲。但是，在身体的每一个细胞里，只需要用到其中的一条X染色体（X-chromosome），所以另一条就会被随机“关掉”。这就意味着，在一些细胞里，只有妈妈传下来的那条X染色体在工作；而在其他细胞中， ...

The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the biological sex, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that develop in a person.
