Female Mammals Form Barr Bodies Because

Female mammals form Barr bodies because

A) compacting the chromatin of one of their X chromosomes allows them to inactivate it and produce the same amount of gene product as a male.
B) unpacking one of their X chromosomes allows them to produce more gene product than a male.
C) compacting the chromatin in one of their X chromosomes allows them to conserve histone proteins.
D) compacting the chromatin in one of their X chromosomes allows them to produce more gene product than a male from the other X chromosome.
E) unpacking one of their X chromosomes allows them to choose which allele they wish to express, which a male cannot do. Barr bodies are formed because otherwise, a female would produce twice as much gene product as a male from genes on the X chromosome, and too much of some gene products can be harmful.
