How is a chromosome different from chromatin and how are they similar?

Chromosomes exist [in interphase] as de-condensed, or free, potential chromatin; while chromatin is chromosomes that are condensed [wound] around histone proteins.
This condensation, or packing, of the chromosomes occurs in two stages: first the Dna strand is wound around Histone proteins that then spiral into The Ten Nanometer Fiber.
This spiraled compact 10 nm fiber is then further wound up into the Thirty Nanometer Fiber, the chromatin, which is then further folded [condensed] into The Chromosomes.

What is a chromosome made up of when it coils?
Chromatin
What is sister chromatin?
A sister chromatin is one half of a chromosome. Two sister chromatids come together connected by a centromere to create one chromosome.
What structure will the chromatin become in mitosis?
The chromatin in the cell becomes chromosomes in prophase, the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin coils tightly together to form into separate chromosome strands during this phase.
How chromatin reticulum become chromosome?
the chromatin coils in the shape of a chromosome when the cell divides
What is a chemical found within each chromosome?
Chromatin
Doubled rod of condensed chromatin?
the chromosome
When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called?
The most tightly-coiled form of DNA is a chromosome.
What is a pair of chromatin called?
Chromosome
What is cetromere?
The center of the chromatin or chromosome.
What is a chromosome made up of when it coils?
Chromatin
What does the cemtromere do?
the centromere in a double stranded chromosome is the glue like substance that holds the two strands of chromatin together( when there is only 1 chromosome it is chromatin)
What is sister chromatin?
A sister chromatin is one half of a chromosome. Two sister chromatids come together connected by a centromere to create one chromosome.
What structure will the chromatin become in mitosis?
The chromatin in the cell becomes chromosomes in prophase, the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin coils tightly together to form into separate chromosome strands during this phase.
How are chromosome and chromatids related?
Chromatin is intertwinted mass of fine thread-like structure made of DNA and protein. During cell division (mitosis and meiosis), chromatin condenses to form thicker rod-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of two similar halves called chromatids. Formation of chromosomes having two similar halves or chromatids is meant for equitable distribution of chromatin which is hereditary material.
During cell division chromatin threads from the?
During cell division chromatin threads from the chromosome.
