Where is the chromatin in a cell?

Answer 1

Chromatin is always present in a cell. The term "chromatin" refers to the "relaxed" form of chromosomes when the cell is not dividing.

In a nutshell:

Just prior to mitosis,(the S-phase of the cell cycle), the cell makes a copy of each chromosome which is joined to the original. It is in the first step of mitosis- "Prophase" that the chromatin condenses by coiling up even tighter, and getting fatter- forming the familiar "X" we see in drawings and in our textbooks.

As mitosis progresses, the fat X-shaped chromosome is pulled apart, each half going to a different side of the cell. The cell now constricts down the center, and splits in half (M stage) , forming two cells. Each cell should have the same number of chromosomes that the original "parent cell" had. The chromosomes relax again, the cell grows (G1), duplicates the chromosomes (S), prepares for mitosis (G2), then divides (M). Ad infinitum.

Answer 2

DNA protein fibers,which during prophase,condense to form visible chromosomes. and its located in the nucles DNA protein fibers,which during prophase,condense to form visible chromosomes. and its located in the nucles

Answer 3

Chromatin is always present in the cell. Chromosomes are composed of chromatin

Answer 4

chromosomes are made of chromatin, which itself consists of 50% DNA and 50% protein.

Answer 5

Chromatin is a combination of protein and DNA. Chromatin is found in the nucleus of the cell.

Answer 6

it contains the hereditary material in a cell,(DNA).

Answer 7

chromatin are thin strands found inside the nucleus. it contains genetic material (DNA), and this tells the nucleus how to control the cell and organelles.

Answer 8

Chromatin is the mass of genetic material composed of DNA and proteins that condense to form chromosomes during eukaryotic cell division. Chromatin is located in the nucleus of a cell.

Answer 9

in the nucleus
