❇One of the Two X-Chromosomes in the female becomes inactive by undergoing heterochromatisation during early embryogenesis.
❇This heterochromatinised X-Chromosomes are called Barr bodies.
❇It occurs in the females as there are two copies of X-Chromosomes for achievement of dosage compensation.
❇ This phenomenon was first described by Murray L. Barr
➡No Barr Bodies are found in the somatic cells of Turner's female.
✔ Turner's syndrome is due to monosomy of 23rd pair of chromosomes ,where one X-Chromosome is lost.
✔The karyotype is 45,X
✔✔Since, there is only one X-Chromosome , there's no need for heterochromatisation of X-Chromosome...
Therefore, there is no Barr Bodies in Turner syndrome.
