Chromosomes form when the chromatin condenses in mitosis
It doesn't separate but is rather condensed into chromosomes. Chromosomes are tightly packed DNA that are roughly 10,000 times shorter than the elongates chromatin at full length.

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 chromosome.
chromatin
Chromatin is found inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Chromatin stains easily and thus from this fact it gets its name, Chromatin means 'Coloured material'. Chromatin is basically coils of DNA (Deoxyribonucleicacid) bound to protein called histone. Chromosomes during the cycle of Interphase, take form of chromatin. Chromatin condenses during cell division to form the Chromosomes. Chromatin usually loosens up and scatters and is called euchromatin and some donot loosen up and stay tightly coiled, called heterochromatin.Hope this explanation helps. Reference is from the book Biological Sciences by Soper.Chromatin is the combination or complex of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell.

Chromatin refers to the combination of DNA and proteins that make up the genetic material in the cell nucleus. It is a loosely organized structure. Chromosome, on the other hand, is a condensed and tightly coiled structure formed by the packaging of chromatin during cell division. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and are essential for cell division and the transmission of genetic information.
The nucleus is intact and the genetic material has the appearance of chromatin.

chromosomes are chromatin fibre which contain DNA or genes that is seen only during cell division where chromatin fibres come together in bundles..
