• Explain the relationship between DNA,
chromatin, chromatids, and
chromosomes.
• You may use words, pictures, or both.
• You may use your DNA notes (“How DNA
Works” flow chart) or pgs. 134-135 to
help.

Discussion
DNA wrapped
around proteins
= chromatin
Chromatin gets
compacted into
structures called
chromatids
Two identical
chromatids = a
chromosome
Objectives:

Describe the relationship among genes,
chromosomes, and inherited traits.
(SPI0707.4.3)

Sequence a series of diagrams that
depict chromosome movement during
plant cell division. (SPI0707.1.4)

DNA is copied
Chromatin becomes
chromatids
chromatids attach and line
up
Chromatids separate and
move
Two new nuclei form; mitosis
complete
Cytoplasm divides into two
