Chromatin

Chromatin is a substance in the cell nucleus that consists of DNA and a small amount of RNA, as well as some proteins such as histones. Chromatin stains well with basic dyes and is usually dispersed in the karyoplasm during interphase (the period between cell divisions), but during cell division it condenses into chromosomes. Chromatin is the main component of the cell nucleus, which ensures the storage and transmission of hereditary information between generations.



Chromatin is a substance found in the cell nucleus that consists of DNA and a small amount of RNA, as well as many proteins such as histone. Chromatin is the name given to protein complexes stained with basic dyes that form chromosomes and protect hereditary information. The larger the cell's genome, the greater the number of chromosomes consisting of chromatin. In addition, chromatin is often called a molecule that creates the secondary structure of DNA in the form of a superhelix.
