I don't have references but I thought I would
throw an idea out. All female mammals (marsupials
excluded) are mosaics, for X-linked genes, due
to the random inactivation of the X chromosome.
I've always thought that this
may be important in terms of sexual dimorphism
in mammals, particularly in brain/CNS development,
function and maybe behavior. Maybe a little
discussion of this idea would be fruitful.
