Technically yes, but only in the sense that without chromatin, you can't have flagella. Here is why:

Chromatin is a structure of DNA. A cell is replicates, either by meiosis or mitosis, it first collects its DNA into organized structures to make the equal transfer between the two daughter cells easier. These structures, made of tightly coiled, inaccessable, highly organized bundles of DNA, are called chromatin. Once the cell divides, the chromatin unwinds, allowing the cell to access the DNA code again.

Flagella are an external stucture on a cell's membrane. They are composed of proteins, which are made using an amino acid sequence encoded in the DNA. So, without the DNA (which has at some point been bundled into chromatin), you can't have flagella.

Is gram staining related to flagella?

No, gram staining and flagella are not directly related. Gram staining is a technique used to classify bacteria based on cell wall characteristics, while flagella are thread-like appendages that help bacteria move. Flagella presence or absence does not affect the results of a gram stain.
