Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason Barr body is different from the other X chromosomes in the given cell.
Introduction: The Barr body is the X-chromosome present in the somatic cells of the females and is inactive in nature. It is a highly condensed structure and was first identified by Canadian scientists Murray Barr and Ewart Bertram.
