Understand that Barr bodies are inactivated X chromosomes found in female cells. In a normal human female, there are two X chromosomes in each diploid cell.
Recognize that the number of Barr bodies is equal to the total number of X chromosomes minus one. This is because one X chromosome remains active while the others are inactivated.
Apply the formula: Number of Barr bodies = Number of X chromosomes - 1.
For a normal human female with two X chromosomes, substitute into the formula: Number of Barr bodies = 2 - 1.
Conclude that a normal human female contains one Barr body in each diploid cell.
