The X-inactivation originally happens in individual cells, but it happens during embryonic development and is maintained through cell division. The cells divide many, many times after that point, leading to the regions of shared inactivation you see in the black/orange patterning of tortoiseshell cats. There’s another gene (not X-linked) that can add white spotting to the mix, combined they make calico cats.

Sex-linked traits were first described by TH Morgan in fruit fly eyes 40-50 years after Mendel published his pea experiments. It was the first published finding that specifically linked a gene to a chromosome, providing considerable evidence for the chromosome theory of inheritance which was still hotly debated at the time.

PSA: Your estradiol pills might not melt together but they will be damaged by high temperature environments. Always store your hrt (and other meds) in cool, dry conditions.

Cell is indeed another “high-impact” journal, though it has a more narrow focus than Nature or Science. At least in cell & molecular biology, the three are often lumped together as the journals you want/need to publish in to advance your career.

I once had the inner lid of a microcentrifuge (one of the plastic ones with a snap-like closure) pop off mid-spin. It shot upward with enough force that it knocked the fully latched upper lid open and then shot across the room like a frisbee. Luckily it just hit some shelves and landed on the floor so nobody was hurt but it scared the shit out of me.

This is kinda backwards. Biodiversity is a result of random mutation over millions of years. Evolution is the result of selective pressures “choosing” from that diversity. It doesn’t create biodiversity, it depends on it.
