[edit] Expansion
Added information about the structure and sequence of X from a 2005 nature article --Smelissali 03:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
I added the expansion template tag to the article. I think it needs more information about the genes in the chromosome, about its function in other animals, etc... The article about the Y chromosome, which is smaller than this, has more content --Mindeye 08:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Variance in IQ between the sexes and the role of the X chromosome
Is there somebody knowledgeable about the following?
Different sources (e.g. Prof. Hameister in Ulm) state that a larger part of the inherited intelligence is carried by genes on the X chromosome and add that this was the reason for different variances in IQ between the sexes - there are more men who have very high and very low IQs compared to women.
