Between cell divisions, genetic information is in disorganized strands known as chromatin. :)

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 :)


Chromatin and chromosomes similarities?

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.

Are chromosomes and chromatid the same thing?

No, chromosomes and chromatids are not the same. Chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain genetic information, while chromatids are one of the two identical halves of a replicated chromosome held together by a centromere during cell division.

What condenses into an X shape before mitosis?

Chromosomes condense into an X shape before mitosis. During prophase, the chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and coil, forming distinct X-shaped structures known as chromosomes. This condensation allows the chromosomes to be easily moved and segregated during cell division.


What happens to the chromosomes during S-phase?

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.


Are chromosomes found in the nucleus?

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


When do chromatin threads appear as chromosomes?

Chromatin threads appear as chromosomes during cell division when the chromatin condenses and coils to form distinct, visible structures that can be easily identified under a microscope. This usually occurs during the metaphase stage of mitosis or meiosis.


What structure of cell's nucleus holds the heredity information?

chromatin or chromosomes


What does chromatin do in cell?

Chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins and are located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Two chromatids join together at a point called a centromere, forming chromosomes during mitotic cell division.
