The nucleoprotein material of chromosomes. Chromatin is essentially the substance of chromosomes. It is made up of DNA attached to a protein structure, together with chromosomal RNA. Chromatin exists in two states, euchromatin and heterochromatin, with different staining and functional properties.

Chromatin is a substance within a chromosome consisting of DNA and protein. The DNA carries the cell's genetic instructions. The major proteins in chromatin are histones, which help package the DNA in a compact form that fits in the cell nucleus. Changes in chromatin structure are associated with DNA replication and gene expression.

Refers to the combined DNA and protein material that coils up to form chromosomes. 29 Animation

the combination of DNA and the structural proteins (histones) it wraps around in the cell nucleus. Chromosomes are made out of chromatin.

Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

The combination of DNA and proteins (primarily histones) that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell. The main functions of chromatin are to package DNA into a smaller volume, to strengthen the DNA to allow cell division, to prevent DNA damage, and to control gene expression and DNA replication.

(French : chromatine) Constitutive structure of chromosomes made of DNA, basic chromosomal proteins and small RNA quantities. Chromatin is visible during interphase.

(n) the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA and various proteins; during mitotic division it condenses into chromosomes

Complex of DNA, histones, and nonhistone proteins from which eukaryotic chromosomes are formed. Condensation of chromatin during mitosis yields the visible metaphase chromosomes. (Figure 9-29)

The piece of DNA-protein complex that is studied and analyzed. Each chromatin fragment reflects the general features of chromosomes but not the specifics of any individual chromosome.

A complex of DNA, RNA and proteins in the eukaryotic cell nucleus.

A mixture of DNA and proteins that makes up a chromosome.

A complex of nucleic acid and basic proteins (as histone) in eukaryotic cells that is usually dispersed in the interphase nucleus and condensed into chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis.

The substance of chromosomes; now known to include DNA, chromosomal proteins, and chromosomal RNA. The nucleoprotein material of the eukaryotic chromosome.

The nuclear material that makes up chromosomes, consisting of DNA and protein.
