Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in the formation of two identical daughter cells. During mitosis, the cell must first replicate its DNA, and then condense it into chromosomes to facilitate proper division of genetic material between the two daughter cells. The chromatin is therefore packaged into condensed chromosomes, which are easier to segregate during the process of mitosis. Therefore, a cell would pack its DNA as chromatin in preparation for mitosis.
