Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During interphase, DNA is called
A
Sister Chromatid
B
Chromosome
C
Centromere
D
Chromatin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Consequently, during interphase, DNA is combined with proteins and organized into a precise, compact structure, a dense string-like fiber called chromatin, which condenses even further into chromosomes during cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -During interphase the DNA strands are uncoiled (uncondensed) in the nucleus. This uncondensed genetic material is called chromatin; thus an uncondensed chromosome can be called chromatin.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a cell is in interphase, it is in a growth state maintaining normal metabolic functions. Because the DNA does not need to be separated (as it would in Mitosis) the DNA exists as chromatin.

Detailed explanation-4: -The complex of DNA and protein is called chromatin (from the Greek chroma, “color, ” because of its staining properties). In addition to the proteins involved in packaging the DNA, chromosomes are also associated with many proteins required for the processes of gene expression, DNA replication, and DNA repair.

Detailed explanation-5: -Interphase chromatin is a thread-shaped chromosome that is present in the interphase of cell division. During interphase, chromatin appears diffused and unorganized.
