Females carry two X chromosomes. One is inherited from each parent. Both of the X chromosomes do not have to be activated. One of the X chromosomes is neutralized. However, the extra X chromosome can be reactivated in some cases. This does not means that females need only one chromosome. Females with only one X chromosome have genetic conditions that can cause disabilities such as Turner Syndrome.
