HI PRASHYANT

There are two varieties of chromatin. They are euchromatin and heterochromatin. These two forms are distinguished in a cytological manner dealing with how intensely each form is stained. The euchromatin is less intense than heterochromatin. This only indicates that heterochromatin has tighter DNA packaging

THANKS

@ prashant
there are some besic diffrence that u need to understand .
EUCHROMATIN
1- it is darkly stained region of chromatin
2- it is compactly coiled region with more dna
3- it is generally inert as as cannot transcribe mrna due to tight coiling
4- it is late replicative
EUCHROMATIN
1- it is lightly stained region
2- it is loosely coined region with less dna
3- it is generally active
4- its early replicative

HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT
