Between cell divisions, genetic information is in disorganized strands known as chromatin. :)
During mitosis, the chromatin condenses to form chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of two identical strands, or chromatids.
Two chromatids held by the centromere is called a chromosome.
The S-phase is during interphase, which means there are no chromosomes. DNA is replicated in the S-phase ("s" for synthesis). It can only be replicated in the form of chromatin, not wrapped up in chromosomes.
chromatids/chromatin.
Tightly wound and bundled strands of DNA.
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 :)
During prophase, chromatin threads condense,coil, shorten and thicken into chromatids, but how do the chromsomes of parent cells turn into the chromatin threads
Chromatin is intertwinted mass of fine thread-like structure made of DNA and protein. During cell division (mitosis and meiosis), chromatin condenses to form thicker rod-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of two similar halves called chromatids. Formation of chromosomes having two similar halves or chromatids is meant for equitable distribution of chromatin which is hereditary material.

no, DNA Cytoplasm and Nucleolus are the only things found in the nucleus
