DNA is condensed during Prophase, Anaphase and Telophase. Aka, M phase
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.
The highly condensed forms of DNA (and proteins) are known as chromosomes.
Chromatin is the uncoiled form of DNA that resembles a thread-like structure. It consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones, which help organize and compact the DNA into a condensed form. When DNA is uncoiled and in the form of chromatin, it allows for easier access and transcription of the genetic information stored in the DNA.
The threads, chromatin, are coiled into a tight dense mass of DNA to form a chromosome.

DNA is tightly wrapped into chromosomes, and stored within the nucleus of each cell

how is the information stored and coded in DNA and genes
Protein involved in DNA condensation. In most eukaryotes, the chromosomal packing involves the wrapping of DNA around a core of histones to form nucleosomes. Adjacent nucleosomes are packaged together via Histone 1 and nucleosomes are organized into a 30 nm chromatin fiber. DNA condensation takes place as cells enter mitosis or when germ cells enter meiosis.
DNA is a molecule. There are also a bunch of proteins/molecules called histones that organise the DNA molecule into a condensed state.
