DNA makes copies of itself through the process of replication.  Because the nucleotide bases are complementary, they automatically  make the other strand of complementary ba â¦ ses when the division of  the cell occurs.
Cells sometimes need to make a copy of their DNA during a process called DNA replication. When cells divide, each new cell needs an exact copy of the DNA so they can have these important instructions for cell function. The nucleus uses a protein called DNA polymerase to copy DNA. The chromatin then condenses even further, forming large pieces of DNA called chromosomes, which can be easily sorted between the two new cells.
