Prophase 1
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.
These long thin fibers of DNA and protein are called chromatin. During cell division, the chromatin fibers condense and coil to form visible chromosomes. Chromosomes help organize and separate the genetic material during cell division.
DNA molecules coil around histone proteins to form a structure called a nucleosome. Multiple nucleosomes are further coiled and compacted to form chromatin, which then condenses into chromosomes during cell division.
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
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.

Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
During prophase of mitosis, the chromatin coils and condenses to form tightly packed structures called chromosomes. This condensation allows for easier segregation of genetic material during cell division.

Condensation and shortening of chromosomes occur during the prophase stage of mitosis. In prophase, the chromatin fibers condense and coil tightly to form distinct, visible chromosomes.

The cell's chromatin condenses into chromosomes during prophase. In contrast, telophase is where the chromosomes loosen to form chromatins.
Eukaryotic DNA is organized into chromosomes within the nucleus. DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which further condense into chromatin fibers. These chromatin fibers coil and fold to compact into X-shaped structures called chromosomes during cell division.
Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins in the nucleus of a cell, while chromosomes are condensed and visible structures of chromatin during cell division. Chromosomes are formed from condensed chromatin to allow for organized and efficient segregation of genetic material. Essentially, chromosomes are the condensed form of chromatin.
