A study of morphological variations of sex chromatin in female students
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The inactive X chromosome always form the sex chromatin and the presence of an usually small or large Barr body in the buccal smear indicates the presence of structural variant of the X chromosome.100 female of M.B.B.S, B.H.M.S , have been voluntarily registered for the present study. In the present study different shapes of sex chromatin like planoconvex, oval, semilunar, round, coma, and bean shaped are observed in normal human females. The morphological variation in the shapes of the Barr body are very meager, hence the present study has been taken.
