Solution
| Sr. no | Euchromatin | Heterchromatin |
| 1. | It is a loosely packed region of chromatin. | It is a densely packed region of DNA. |
| 2. | It stains light. | It stains dark. |
| 3. | Euchromatin is a transcriptionally active chromatin region. | Heterochromatin is a transcriptionally nearly dormant portion of the genome. |
