Where can barr bodies be found?
BARR BODIES CAN BE SEEN AS A SMALL APPENDAGE ON THE NUCLEOUS OF A POLYMORPHONUCLEAR NEUTROPHIL OF BLOOD CELLS FROM A FEMALE HUMAN. THESE ARE ONE OF THE WHITE CELL TYPES SEEN ON A BLOOD SMEAR DONE ON A CBC. tim goodman clinical lab scientist
A Barr body is normally found in the nucleus of which kind of human cell?
A Barr body is normally found in the nucleus of female human cells. It is an inactivated X chromosome, which compensates for the presence of two X chromosomes in females by silencing one of them to achieve dosage compensation.
Does a human female carry two Barr bodies?
Sex in humans is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes, X and Y. In males, every cell in their body (except for erythrocytes (red blood cells, which are non-nucleated and do not contain DNA)) and sperm cells (which only contain either a single X or Y chromosome) contains both X and Y chromosomes. In females, every cell (except those previously mentioned in males) contains two X chromosomes, except that one of those (through a process believed to be random) X chromosomes atrophies into what is called a "Barr body". Basically, this is a transcriptionally inactive chromosome (in that there is no gene expression from this chromosome). Only 1 of the 2 X chromosomes in each cell undergoes this. Your question is worded strangely because it sounds like you're asking if the ENTIRE female body contains 2 Barr bodies, when in fact it contains billions and billions of bar bodies...however, I suspect you were asking on the cellular level, and thus every somatic (non-sex) cell in the female body contains a single Barr body and a single functional X chromosome.* *There are genetic anomalies that may be the exception to this, but this is in normal, healthy females.
Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
What does a Barr body in a mammalian female cell represents?
A Barr body is an inactivated X chromosome in mammalian female cells, primarily serving to balance gene expression between males and females who have one active X chromosome. This process is known as Lyonization, which equalizes the dosage of X-linked genes in males (XY) and females (XX).
How many Barr bodies cell does XXXY has?
A Barr body is an inactivated X chromosome. An XXXY cell would contain 1 Barr Body. Men have no Barr bodies, and women have 1.
What is the number of barr bodies inside the cheek cell of a human?
143
What is the Number of Barr bodies inside cheek cell of male with Klinefelter's Syndrome?
A male with Klinefelter's Syndrome (XXY genotype) would have two Barr bodies in each cheek cell, as they have an extra X chromosome. This extra X chromosome forms Barr bodies inactivated during embryonic development, leading to the presence of two Barr bodies in cells with two X chromosomes.

Do people with Klinefelter's syndrome have an inactivated X chromosome or a bar body?
People with Klinefert´s syndrome have one barr body. Yes , the number of barr bodies in a cell is always equal to the number of X chromosomes minus one. For example in the XXY chromosome there is one Barr body
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.
A Barr body is normally found in the nucleus of which kind of human cell?
A Barr body is normally found in the nucleus of female human cells. It is an inactivated X chromosome, which compensates for the presence of two X chromosomes in females by silencing one of them to achieve dosage compensation.
Where is a barr body found?
A Barr body is the inactivated X chromosome that is usually found in the nuclei of female somatic cells. It can also occur in males when there is an abnormality and the male is XXY instead of the normal XY, a condition known as Klinefelter's syndrome. In this case, the male somatic cells would also contain a Barr body. --- The Barr body is the highly-condensed chromatin structure taken up by an inctivated X chromosome. The number of Barr bodies equal the number of inactive chromosomes.
How does the cell adjust to the extra X chromosome in female cells?
In females, the extra X chromosome becomes inactive and becomes the Barr body.
Does a human female carry two Barr bodies?
Sex in humans is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes, X and Y. In males, every cell in their body (except for erythrocytes (red blood cells, which are non-nucleated and do not contain DNA)) and sperm cells (which only contain either a single X or Y chromosome) contains both X and Y chromosomes.

Why don't males have Barr bodies?
Both Male and Female have the barr body, but in different chromosones. The above statement is INCORRECT. Barr bodies are formed mainly in females due to females having two X chromosomes while males normally have only one X chromosome (and a Y chromosome). The Barr body is formed from the inactive X chromosome. Males can sometimes be born with a mutation of having too many X chromosomes, in which case Barr Bodies would also be found in those specific males which typically causes Klinefelter's Syndrome.
Is chromosome 19 autosomal or sex chromosome?
Chromosome#19 is autosomal cell when refering to the human system. The #23 chromsomes is the sex cell in the human body system.
