The display simply consists of white explosions of light which dart erratically about, accompanied by an electronic tape which chortles across the pond in spontaneous gurgles.

Cytologists (cell scientists) had known since the early 1900s that some animal cells studied under the microscope contain a little dark spot that others lack. Yet not until 1949 did Canadian Neuro-Anatomist Murray L. Barr realize that the spots, which he was studying in cats' nerve cells, appear only in cells from females. Later research showed that the spots, now known as "Barr bodies" or sex chromatin, consisted of one X chromosome - the one that is inactivated after it has done its job of helping to determine femaleness...
