Step 1
The level of gene activity produced by a single X chromosome is the normal "dosage" for a human. Men have this dosage because, well, they only have one X chromosome! Women have the same dosage for a different reason: they shut down one of their two X chromosomes in a process called X-inactivation.

Compare these crosses in two cases: where the mutant allele is “A” vs where the mutant allele is “a” (XAXA x XaY) (XAXa x XAY) (XAXa x XaY) (XaXa x XAY) (XaXa x XaY).
