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.

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.


In what phase does chromosomes condense and become visible?

The chromosomes in a cell's nucleus are only visible during the part of the cell cycle known as prophase. Prophase is the stage of mitosis in which chromatin condensation occurs.


The DNA and its associated proteins form?

The DNA and its associated proteins form a condensed structure called chromatin in the eukaryotic cell nucleus. This chromatin structure helps regulate gene expression by allowing or restricting access to specific regions of the DNA for transcription factors and RNA polymerase to bind. Changes in chromatin structure can influence the expression of genes.

During cell reproduction the chromosomes condense from the that is normally found in the nucleus?

During cell reproduction, chromosomes condense from the chromatin that is normally found in the nucleus. Condensation helps the chromosomes become more manageable and facilitates their movement during processes such as mitosis and meiosis. After cell division is complete, the condensed chromosomes will decondense back into chromatin.


Describe what is chromatin structure and what is its significance?

DNA is stored in threadlike, tangled structures called chromatin within the nucleus of a cell. The the chromatin forms into chromosomes during mitosis. Heredity information carried in the chromosomes is passed into the two newly formed cells each time a cell divides.

The phase of mitosis where the chromatin fibers duplicate and condense into visible chromosomes is Interphase. Interphase is the first stage of the cell cycle.

What are structures containnig DNA that become darkly colored when strained?

Chromatin if they cell is not preparing to divide. If they cell is preforming mitosis or meiosis, then one would see chromosomes.

What structure is composed of DNA and protein?

Chromatin is the structure composed of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of a cell. It helps to package and organize the genetic material (DNA) in a compact and functional way.
