What are barr bodies?

A Barr body also known as X-chromatin is described as an inactive X chromosome in a cell with more than one X chromosome, rendered inactive in a process called lyonization, in species with XY sex-determination.

People having more than one X chromosome, the quantity of Barr bodies seen in interphase is always  one fewer than total number of X chromosome. So,in this scenario we have above the person is having XXY chromosomal composition, the expected number of barr bodies in interphase cells is one.

In conclusion, Barr Bodies can be found in various biological samples such as hair, buccal cells, and blood.
