Answer
Euchromatin is a type of chromatin that is generally more active. Euchromatin is considered more active in nature because it is involved in the active transcription of DNA to mRNA. It is also less densely packed compared to heterochromatin. In addition, euchromatin enables active gene regulatory proteins.
