Chromatin is the name of the mixture of DNA and proteins that are found in the nucleus of a cell. Depending on the stage of the cellular cycle, the chromatin may be structured differently, ranging from loosely to tightly structured.

Is naked DNA called chromatin?

No, naked DNA is not called chromatin. Chromatin refers to the complex of DNA and proteins that make up a chromosome. Naked DNA refers to DNA that is not associated with proteins or organized into chromatin structure.


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.

What is DNA wrapped around proteins called?

Tangled strands of DNA are in Prokaryotic cells. This is because the DNA is free floating. The proteins are most likely tangled in the protein molecules.
