Barr body is found in the cytoplasm during

  • interphase in cell of female mammal

  • interphase in cell of male mammal

  • prophase in cell of female mammal

  • prophase in cell of male mammal


A.

interphase in cell of female mammal

Barr body is also known as sex chromatin. It is partially inactivated. Its development occurs in one of the two X chromosomes in interphase nuclei. Any of the two X-chromosomes can become heterochromatic.
