My muddiest point is about the chromosomes. Im kind of cunfussed about all the differnt things they do, especially during mitosis when all the confusing names come along (chromotin, chromatid, they all sound the same!)
well I don't really know about the things that they do, but I do know that the difference between Chromatin and a Chromatid is that the Chromatin is the DNA before it is raveled up into the actual DNA (its like a ball of yarn that is unraveled) and a Chromatid is one of the two copies made from one DNA
During INTERPHASE, chromosomes are in an UNWOUND form called CHROMATIN.
When chromosomes are replicated during S phase, TWO copies of the genetic material are joined together at one centromere. Each half of the duplicated chromosome is called a sister CHROMATID.

I'm pretty sure this is right I hope I helped!
CHROMOSOMES are continuous units of DNA.
