Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromatin refers to the combination of DNA and proteins, including histones, that make up the genetic material within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Chromatin is the form in which DNA exists during interphase, when the cell is not actively dividing. Chromatin can condense into visible chromosomes during cell division. Nucleoli are specialized structures within the nucleus involved in the production of ribosomes. The nuclear envelope is the double membrane that surrounds and protects the nucleus. Genes are specific sequences of DNA that code for specific traits or proteins. Chromosomes are structures composed of DNA and proteins that contain genetic information and are visible during cell division.
