A Barr body is absent in the somatic cells of an individual with:
- AKlinefelter syndrome
- BTriple X syndrome
- CTurner syndrome
- DSub-human mammalian female
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The number of Barr bodies in a somatic cell is determined by the formula:
Let's evaluate the cases:
* Klinefelter syndrome has a karyotype of . Number of Barr bodies = .
* Triple X syndrome has a karyotype of . Number of Barr bodies = .
* Turner syndrome has a karyotype of . Number of Barr bodies = .
Since the count is zero, the Barr body is absent in individuals with Turner syndrome.
