What is the difference between chromatin, chromosomes and genes?
Gene:- A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism. All the characters of living things depend on genes. Genes hold the information to build and maintain an organism's cells and pass genetic traits to offspring. A modern working definition of a gene is "a locatable region of the genomic sequence, corresponding to a unit of inheritance, which is associated with regulatory regions, transcribed regions, and or other functional sequence regions.
Chromatin:- 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 chromosomes in meiosis and mitosis.
Chromosomes:- In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. It contains genetic material which encodes genetic information that an organism inherits from parents.
