What is a Chromatin? -A Chromatin is a bead like structure made up of DNA, proteins, and primarily histones. -It eventually condenses to become a Chromosome the “Cell Division Process.” (A parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.) -It also makes up contents of the nucleus of the cell.

Parts Of The Chromatin (DNA)
DNA is a Deoxyribonucleic Acid that is found in all organisms. The Chromatin helps package the DNA into smaller volumes to fit into the cell. The Chromatin also transfers the blueprints of DNA from a cell over to the RNA. The DNA is then wrapped around protein (Histones).
4
Histones Histones are any basic group of proteins found inside the chromatin. Their role is to package and order the DNA into structural units. These structure units are called nucleosomes. Diagram with Histones

Overall Summary 2 Chromatins make up a Chromosome.
Chromatins are made up of DNA, Histones, and Proteins. Their functions is to transfer DNA blueprints/Information to the RNA. Found inside the nucleus of the cell.
