Correct Answer: B. chromatin
In interphase the DNA is scattered throughout the nucleus. It is during prophase of mitosis and meiosis that the DNA becomes tightly packed, wrapping around histones and forming the tightly coiled chromosomes. A nucleosome is a unit of DNA wrapped around a histone. It is these nucleosomes that wrap around each other to make the super coiled DNA structure. Sister chromatids are formed when the chromosome condenses in prophase.
