Open in App
Solution

Chromosome, chromatin and chromatid have same composition and are made up of DNA and protein.

Dear Student,

Chromosomes:- A chromosome is an organized and condensed structure of DNA and protein found in cells. It is a single piece of coiled DNA containing many genes.

Chromatids:- These are the two identical halves of the chromosomes which are held together at a point known as centromere.

Chromatin is a complex combination of DNA and protein that makes up the chromosome in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is usually found dispersed in the interphase nucleus and condensed into chromosome in mitosis and meiosis.

Regards.
