type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: This process is apparently random in most embryonic tissues, so that roughly half of the cells in each somatic tissue will inactivate the maternal X while the other half will inactivate the paternal X. Cells destined to give rise to eggs do not undergo X inactivation, and cells of the extra-embryonic tissues preferentially inactivate the paternal X, although the rationale for this preference is unclear.
