The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Barr Bodies**: - Barr bodies are inactivated X chromosomes found in the cells of females. They appear as dense spots at the periphery of the nucleus. 2. **Determining the Number of Barr Bodies**: - The number of Barr bodies in a cell is calculated as one less than the number of X chromosomes present. This means: - For a normal female with two X chromosomes (XX), the number of Barr bodies = 2 - 1 = 1. - For a normal male with one X and one Y chromosome (XY), the number of Barr bodies = 1 - 1 = 0. 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, in a normal male, the number of Barr bodies is 0, and in a normal female, the number of Barr bodies is 1. 4. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer is: Normal male has 0 Barr bodies and normal female has 1 Barr body.
