During cell division, the chromatin condenses into tightly packed structures called heterochromatin. This condensation helps to ensure that the genetic material is properly distributed to the daughter cells. In euchromatin, the chromatin is less condensed and more accessible, allowing for gene expression to occur. However, during cell division, the transcriptional machinery is disrupted and gene expression is generally suppressed. This is because the cell is focused on the process of dividing and ensuring that the genetic material is accurately replicated and distributed. As a result, genes in euchromatin are typically not expressed during cell division.

During cell division, the chromatin in the nucleus condenses into highly compact structures called chromosomes. This condensation is necessary for the proper segregation of chromosomes during cell division and prevents DNA damage. However, this condensation also makes the DNA inaccessible to the machinery necessary for gene expression.
As a result, genes located in euchromatin, which is the less condensed and more accessible form of chromatin, cannot be expressed during cell division. In order for genes to be expressed, the chromatin must be decondensed, which occurs during interphase, the period of the cell cycle between cell divisions.
