[edit] Old image

Fig. 1: Levels of DNA condensation. (1) DNA double-strand helix. (2) Chromatin strand (DNA with histones). (3) Condensed chromatin during interphase with centromere. (4) Condensed chromatin during prophase. (Two copies of the DNA molecule are now present) (5) Chromosome during metaphase.

Created a new and more appropriate image showing major chromatin structures. This is the old figure.
