A chromosome is a strand of DNA with proteins, that is usually found within the cell's nucleus. On the other hand, chromatin is a mass of genetic material containing DNA, RNA, and various proteins that forms chromosomes.

**before mitosis, the DNA is loose in the nucleus in the form of chromatin. When the DNA begins to undergo mitosis the chromatin condenses to form the chromosome.
The difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that chromosomes help to make up chromatin. Chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins, and is what makes the nucleus of a cell. Chromosomes make up the DNA.

What is the difference between cromatin reticulam and cromosome?

Chromatin refers to the combination of DNA and proteins that make up the genetic material in the cell nucleus. It is a loosely organized structure. Chromosome, on the other hand, is a condensed and tightly coiled structure formed by the packaging of chromatin during cell division. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and are essential for cell division and the transmission of genetic information.

What structure will the chromatin become in mitosis?

The chromatin in the cell becomes chromosomes in prophase, the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin coils tightly together to form into separate chromosome strands during this phase.


How is DNA packaged into a chromosome?

DNA is packaged into a chromosome by wrapping around proteins called histones, forming a structure known as chromatin. This chromatin then coils and condenses to create the compact structure of a chromosome.

When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called?

When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus, it is called chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA and associated proteins that help organize and regulate gene expression within the cell.


Are Barr body projection of extra chromatin on the an X chromosome?

Yes, a Barr body is an inactivated X chromosome seen in the nuclei of female mammals. It appears as a small, dense, dark-staining body due to the condensation of the chromatin, which is a result of X chromosome inactivation to equalize gene expression between males and females.
