    Chromosome vs Chromatid vs Chromatin



    What is the difference between a chromosome, a chromatid, and a chromatin?
    I've been searching all over on Google but I think it's got me confused even more

    Here's what I have written down:
    CHROMATIN
    > DNA strand as a whole

    CHROMATID
    > half the DNA strand
    > two chromatid = one chromatin

    CHROMOSOME
    ??????
    lol

    In my textbook it says a chromosome makes up a portion of the cell's DNA but isnt that what a chromatid is??

    Help please. Will +rep Please tag me, I must know this
