The chromatin is located in the nucleus of a cell. It contains the genetic material, like Deoxyribonucleic Acid (also known as D.N.A.) Chromatin are tiny little fibers compressed together in the nucleus. It can be likened to a spider's web.
For much of the life of a cell the chromatin lies as a beaded tangle of fibers throughout the volume of the nucleus. Small combinations of histones form the beads, and the string is the DNA molecule. Around the outside of the nucleus is an envelope consisting of two layers of membrane.
