Medical Genetics Euchromatin is threadlike delicate it is most abundant in active, transcribing cells. Thus the presence of euchromatin is significant because the regions of DNa to be transcribed or duplicated must uncoil before the genetic code can be read

Medical Genetics Condensation and decondensation of the dna are at least partially eversible processes. Each DNA segment that has to be replicated or transcribed has to be decondensed during this time
Medical Genetics Condensation and decondensation of the DNA are at least partially reversible processes. Each DNA segment that has to be replicated or transcribed has to be decondensed during this time
Medical Genetics The highest degree of condensation can be found in the chromosomes(mitosis, meiosis) during cell division
