The threads, chromatin, are coiled into a tight dense mass of DNA to form a chromosome.
DNA is condensed during Prophase, Anaphase and Telophase. Aka, M phase
Chromatin is the diffuse combination of DNA and proteins found inside the nucleus of a cell. It consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins, forming nucleosomes that are further organized into higher-order structures to compact DNA in the nucleus. This condensed structure helps regulate gene expression and protect the genetic material within the cell.
The highly condensed forms of DNA (and proteins) are known as chromosomes.
In interphase, the DNA has just replicated and exists as loosely coiled chromatins. They have not yet condensed enough to be the form of a chromosome. In the next stage, prophase, the DNA will shorten and condense into the easily recognizable chromosome structure.
Those tiny threads are called chloro- skeletons, and they are fibers in cytoplasm, or your DNA to keep the cell membrane from collapsing, or tightening. I guess you could say that there are the braces of a cell!
In interphase, DNA exists in the form of chromatin which consists of loosely packed threads of DNA along with proteins. This allows for easy access to the genetic material for processes like gene expression and DNA replication.

Before replication occurs, DNA is condensed into chromosomes.
No, chromosomes are not condensed during interphase. They are in a less condensed form and are actively involved in processes such as DNA replication and gene expression.

chromatin threads
Yes, DNA is condensed in G2 phase. During G2 phase of the cell cycle, DNA is already replicated and has undergone condensation to form distinct chromosomes. This preparation ensures that the cell is ready for mitosis.
DNA is a molecule. There are also a bunch of proteins/molecules called histones that organise the DNA molecule into a condensed state.
