The chromatin is located in the nucleus of a cell. It contains the genetic material, like Deoxyribonucleic Acid (also known as D.N.A.) Chromatin are tiny little fibers compressed together in the nucleus. It can be likened to a spider's web.
The primary protein components of chromatin are histones that compact the DNA. Chromatin is only found in eukaryotic cells (cells with defined nuclei). Prokaryotic cells have a different organization of their DNA (the prokaryotic chromosome equivalent is called genophore and is localized within the nucleoid region).The structure of chromatin depends on several factors.hromatin is only found in eukaryotic cells (cells with defined nuclei).
