Chromosomes and Chromatin are both located in the nucleus of a cell.
Chromatin is the structure with in the Chromosomes and the Chromosomes are the structure inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
Chromatin is used to package DNA so it will fit in the cell, to reinforce DNA's macromolecules to allow mitosis, to prevent DNA damage, and to control gene expression and DNA replication. Chromosomes are responsible for transferring parent traits into the child but making the child unique as well.
Chromosomes work with other nucleic acids and meiosis.
