Did you know 99.9% of all calico cats are female. The color pattern depends upon having two X chromosomes but with only one of them active in each body cell. Early in development a given cell opts to inactivate one of them and all the cell’s descendants adhere to that option. This results in a mosaic of skin patches each growing the fur color determined by its active X chromosome.

The inactive X chromosome is visible in a light microscope and is called a Barr Body after the man who first described it. Long before DNA analysis the presence of a Barr Body in mammalian cells could distinguish a female and was used to qualify an athlete to complete as a female. It was a woman, Mary Lyon, who later determined what that mysterious Barr Body really was.

Hmm...

Really interesting. Definitely a different tale. I admit I'm curious to see where you take this, so hopefully you'll post a Chapter Two??
