Chromatin is the combination or complex of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell. It can help guide duplication of chromosomes and it can also help in the production of proteins.

They are condensed chromosomes that are located inside the Nucleus of a cell. (Found inside the Animal cell also.) There are 2 types; Euchromatin which is thought to contain active DNA and Heterochromatin which is thought to contain inactive DNA.

Is a chromatin found in a plant cell?

Yes there is a chromatin in a plant cell as well as an animal cell. Each chromatin thread is made up of proteins and DNA. When the cell is about to go through cell division, the chromatin strands in the nucleus get closer together, condense upon each other which then are called chromosomes.
