Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes during  prophase of mitosis, and during prophase I and prophase II of meiosis. Chromatin is a dense, complex fibrous structure composed of associated proteins and molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which contains the genetic material of an organism.
DNA exists in Chromatin form in the nucleus. The chromatin condenses to form Chromosomes during cell division. Inside the nucleus. The chromatin in the nucleus forms a ' beads-on-string ' structure or Nucleosome. The 'beads' are octamer histone proteins and the 'string' is the double-stranded DNA.About 147 base pairs wrap around the 8-part histone protein to form a nucleosome. The nucleosomes condense to form a chromatin fiber.Chromatin fiber organises into Chromosomes upon cell division.The chromatin is elaborately arranged and paired in mitosis. Sister chromatids are formed in case of meiosis along with pairing.he nucleosomes condense to form a chromatin fiber. Chromatin fiber organises into Chromosomes upon cell division.
