Chromatin
Chromatin: is a complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Chromatin exists in two forms. One form, called euchromatin, is less condensed and can be transcribed. The second form, called heterochromatin, is highly condensed and is typically not transcribed.
