Why x-chromosome are also called Barr body?

That is what random X chromosomes do in the female somatic cells. They form Barr bodies. This is a methylated X chromosome that effectively shuts this chromosome down, one per cell in a random manner. This is done by the body because too much protein product is detrimental to organisms.


What is the difference between x-inactivation and genomic imprinting?

The difference between them is that : In genomic imprinting : one of the alleles in the two chromosomes ( for example the color of the eyes ) are tend to be heavily methylated, in contrast to the nonimpringting copy of the allele which typically is not methylated. In X-chromosome in activation : As you know in female there are two X chromosomes, so one of the two X xhromosomes is methylated which mean one of the two chromosomes become inactivation.
