* D2. Chromatin Structure (eukaryotic cells) Chromatin: The highly ordered DNA-protein complex which makes up the eukayotic chromosomes. 50% of the mass is protein Solving the packing problem: chromatin The length of a chromosome is cm level, but the the diameter of nucleus is at mm level. The DNA concentration in nucleus is about 200 mg/ml Chromatin structure also enables the chromosomes to alter their compactness as the cell progress the cell cycle. meta phase中期- highly condensed interphase间期- more diffuse Thus, chromatin is the basic organization unit of eukaryotic chromosomal struc
