The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the number of visible Barr bodies in cells of a superfemale with 47 chromosomes (44 + XXX), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Barr Bodies**: Barr bodies are inactivated X chromosomes in females. Typically, in a normal female with two X chromosomes (XX), one X chromosome is active, and the other is inactivated, resulting in one Barr body. 2. **Identify the Karyotype**: The karyotype given is 44 + XXX, which indicates that there are 44 autosomes and three X chromosomes. 3. **Calculate the Number of Barr Bodies**: The formula to determine the number of Barr bodies is: \[ \text{Number of Barr Bodies} = \text{Number of X chromosomes} - 1 \] In this case, we have 3 X chromosomes (from XXX). 4. **Apply the Formula**: \[ \text{Number of Barr Bodies} = 3 - 1 = 2 \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, in the cells of a superfemale with a karyotype of 44 + XXX, there are 2 visible Barr bodies. ### Final Answer: The number of visible Barr bodies in the cells of a superfemale with 47 chromosomes (44 + XXX) is **2**. ---
