Dosage compensation is a phenomenon which helps in balancing the expression of sex-linked as well as of autosomal genes. This expression is balanced in the case of organisms which are heterogametic. Henceforth, the organisms equalize the gene expression between those members that belong to different biological sexes.
In human beings, a single X chromosome in the females (XX) is randomly inactivated and the one which is expressed, transcribe all the information. Hence, we can say that the females are composed of the same number of X-linked genes that get expressed as do the males (XY).
