And that turns out to be important that there are some genes in females where the female needs the double dose of those genes.
And if she doesn't have the double dose, as in Turner syndrome,
They can get it from mom or dad.
And that's another rabbit hole.
We could go down.
There are imprinted genes depending on the parental origin, meaning certain genes are
are preferentially expressed or suppressed in the mom's ex versus the dad's for interesting evolutionary reasons, because the mom and dad have competing interests in what happens to the kid.
That's correct, as far as I understand.
I think that there's some evidence that there's technology now where they could reproduce the
I think in some rare cases that can happen, but generally the ovaries don't.
It's short.
She's going to be shorter.
But generally they're typical in other ways.
I don't know if that's the total complete difference.
I don't know enough about Turner's, but they turn out to, yes, be important.
And I don't even know if it's well understood.
I think there is actually some research on exactly which genes are typically escaping.
I don't know.
So I just wanted to make the point that... So at this point, we have a high level of testosterone in the fetus that is approaching concentrations in male puberty.
So this is...
