Answer:

Chromatin helps regulate DNA replication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromatin helps condense DNA strands to smaller units that can be easily managed during DNA replication and gene expression. This also prevents the breakage of the strands and facilitates equal distribution of chromosomes during cell division (during mitosis and meiosis).
