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 structural entity of chromatin is the nucleosome â a complex of DNA and histones. A chromatin fiber is approximately 10 nm in diameter. Chromatins represent DNA folded on nucleoproteins by a magnitude of 50. Chromosomes are formed of compacted chromatin where DNA is condensed at least by 10,000 times onto itself.
