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.
DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.
