THE DOUBLE LIFE OF WOMEN -- $tFURTHER READING -- $tGLOSSARY -- $tINDEX 330 $aA tiny scrap of genetic information determines our sex; it also consigns many of us to a life of disease, directs or disrupts the everyday working of our bodies, and forces women to live as genetic chimeras. The culprit--so necessary and yet the source of such upheaval--is the X chromosome, and this is its story. An enlightening and entertaining tour of the cultural and natural history of this intriguing member of the genome, The X in Sex traces the journey toward our current understanding of the nature of X. From its chance discovery in the nineteenth century to the promise and implications of ongoing research, David Bainbridge shows how the X evolved and where it and its counterpart Y are going, how it helps assign developing human babies their sex--and maybe even their sexuality--and how it affects our lives in infinitely complex and subtle ways. X offers cures for disease, challenges our cultural, ethical, and scientific assumptions about maleness and femaleness, and has even reshaped our views of human evolution and human nature. 606 $aX chromosome 606 $aSex determination, Genetic 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aX chromosome. 615 0$aSex determination, Genetic. 676 $a611/.01816 700 $aBainbridge$b David$0237202 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455132603321 996 $aThe X in sex$92073268 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01785nam 2200253la 450 001 9910482527903321 005 20221107211801.0 035 $a(UK-CbPIL)2090362295 035 $a(CKB)5500000000091894 035 $a(EXLCZ)995500000000091894 100 $a20210618d1582 uy | 101 0 $aita 135 $aurcn||||a|bb| 200 10$aDella fisica ...
