During the interphase stage of the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing, DNA is present in the form of chromatin. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins, mainly histones, that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. In its chromatin form, DNA is loosely packed and allows for gene expression and various cellular processes to occur.
