Lesson Summary. Chromatin is the special complex of DNA and protein that condenses the genome so that it can be packed into the tiny nucleus. First, DNA is wrapped around histone proteins. Then, a group of histones comes together to form a nucleosome. Finally, the string of nucleosome beads is coiled to condense the DNA even further.
A: Chromatin has several functions, the main one being to condense the six feet of DNA in every cell down to fit inside the nucleus. The chromatin is also responsible for helping transcribe RNA, help prevent the DNA from being damaged while being compacted inside the nucleus, and assist in gene expression.
