What is chromatin?

The structure of chromatin, the DNA in the cell nucleus, together with basic molecular proteins called histones. If a cell that is going through the division process is examined with a light microscope, a tangle-like network structure consisting of fine strands is seen inside the nucleus. This structure is called chromatin.

The chromatin strand consists of DNA and proteins. The DNA molecule surrounds proteins (histone proteins) to form chromatins. Chromatin are mesh structures made up of thin strands in the cell nucleus. Chromatin strands form chromosomes by condensing (shortening and thickening) during cleavage. Chromatin are threadlike structures located in the core plasma. DNA in the cell nucleus forms chromatins along with proteins.
