  • It is referred to as the brain of the cell because it contains the DNA which is responsible for carrying the information of various functions of the cell. 

  • It was discovered by Robert Brown in 1831. 

Chromatin and Chromosome

  • Chromatin is linear thread-like structure structures that are made up of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are made up of DNA wrapped around histone (basic, positively charged) proteins. During the cell division, the chromatin condenses to form compact and discrete structures called chromosomes. 

  • In eukaryotic cells, the chromosomes are linear. 

  • Each chromosome has halves called the chromatids. 

  • The chromatids are joined together at the centromere (primary constriction). 

  • The ends of the chromosomes are called telomeres.
