Summary Introduction

Analyze: Difference in the structure and function of euchromatin and heterochromatin.

Introduction:

DNA (Deoxynucleic acid) forms the genome of any organism and it can be described as long double-helical strands which are made up of a sequence of nucleotides. The DNA is extremely long and thus is packed compactly as chromosomes inside the nucleus of a cell. These chromosomes have two structurally and functionally different regions in terms of stains and functionality which are euchromatin and heterochromatin.
