With respect to X-chromosome inactivation, which, if any, of the following statements are not correct?
I. X-chromosome inactivation in mammals begins in the pre-implantation embryo
II. In humans all diploid cells that carry two normal X-chromosomes are subject to a random pattern of X-inactivation.
III. Once a decision has been made to inactivate an X chromosome (either the paternal or maternal X), all descendant cells show the same pattern of X-inactivation.
IV. The inactivated X chromosome becomes a highly condensed Barr body in which genes are silenced across the length of the chromosome.
