An inactivated X chromosome would be found in the nucleus of a female somatic cell.
X chromosome inactivation is a process that occurs in female mammals where one of the X chromosomes in each cell is randomly inactivated. This ensures that both males and females have similar levels of X chromosome gene products. The inactivated X chromosome condenses into a structure called a Barr body.
The human cell is most likely from a female individual. Barr bodies are inactivated X chromosomes in females, and the absence of a Y chromosome indicates that the individual does not have male sex chromosomes.
In female cells with an extra X chromosome (resulting in a condition called Triple X syndrome), the cell can undergo a process called X-inactivation where one of the X chromosomes is inactivated to prevent overexpression of genes. This helps balance gene dosage between XX and XY individuals. However, not all genes on the extra X chromosome may be inactivated, which can lead to variable symptoms in individuals with Triple X syndrome.
Chromosome
This process is called X-chromosome inactivation, where one of the two X chromosomes in female cells is randomly inactivated to achieve dosage compensation of X-linked genes. The inactivated X chromosome forms a compact structure called a Barr body within the nucleus.

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.

None. Chromosomes are found inside a cell.

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.
