Chromatin is made of histone proteins. It is used for DNA packing. The DNA winds around it like little spools. In eukaryotes, this occurs in the cell nucleus. Prokaryotes do not have a cell nucleus although their DNA does wrap around small structures which only resemble the histone proteins of eukaryotes.

Is chromatin made up of proteins and DNA or fats and proteins?

Chromatin is made up of proteins and DNA. The DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which further coil and condense to create chromatin structure. Fats are not a major component of chromatin.

Describe the structure of eukaryotic chromosomes?

Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of a DNA-protein complex that is organized in a compact manner which permits the large amount of DNA to be stored in the nucleus of the cell. The Chromatin and Nucleosome are two of the most important parts.


What is a relationship of chromosomes to chromatin?

I am assuming you know both chromosomes and chromatin are basically made up of DNA and proteins. They both reside in the nucleus of a cell. The chromosomes are not visible and neither are the chromatin. When mitosis occurs and the cell divides the chromosomes coil up and become chromatids (different again). These chromatids are the only one out of these three that is visible. To answer your question basically the relationship between chromosomes and chromatin can be summarised by the following sentence. <Chromosomes are made up of two chromatin joined together by a centreomere.> hope this helps :)


What is the relation to DNA and chromatin?
