Question
Differentiate between Heterochromatin & Euchromatin.
Advertisements
Solution
| No. | Heterochromatin | Euchromatin |
| 1. | In eukaryotic cells, some segments of chromonema/ chromosome during interphase and early prophase remain in a condensed state. These regions constitute heterochromatin. | The regions of chromonema which are in a non-condensed state constitute euchromatin. |
| 2. | It is genetically and transcriptionally inactive. | It is genetically and transcriptionally very much active and fast replicating. |
| 3. | It stains strongly and appears dark. | Euchromatic regions stain light. |

In prokaryotes, DNA is circular and present in the cytoplasm but in eukaryotes, DNA is linear and mainly confined to the nucleus. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long polymer of nucleotides. In 1953, the first correct double-helical structure of DNA was worked out by Watson and Crick. Based on the X-ray diffraction data produced by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. It is composed of three components, i.e., A phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Different forms of DNA are B-DNA, Z-DNA, A-DNA, C-DNA, and D-DNA.
