Detailed explanation-1: -Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses.
Detailed explanation-2: -During S phase of the eukaryotic cell division cycle, newly replicated DNA is rapidly assembled into chromatin.
Detailed explanation-3: -The DNA is packaged by special proteins called histones to form chromatin. The chromatin further condenses to form chromosomes. This means chromatin is a lower order of DNA organization, whereas chromosomes are a higher order of DNA organization.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the first level of compaction, short stretches of the DNA double helix wrap around a core of eight histone proteins at regular intervals along the entire length of the chromosome (Figure 1). The DNA-histone complex is called chromatin.
