Evidence That the Human X Chromosome Is Enriched for Male
... a female-benefit /male-detriment allele might spread, were it X linked, and hence is a force leading to enrichment on the X chromosome of female-specific genes (after a modifier has suppressed the genes’ expression in males). However, this force will be counterbalanced by the greater relative ease o ...
