One copy will be made totalling 2 of the same chromosome, one for each cell.

When a cell copies its DNA, each chromosome must be copied.
During metaphase each chromosome attaches to spindle fibers. The centriole anchors the spindle fibers and helps in splitting the chromosome.

at the end of prophase
Mitosis results in two identical cells being produced from the original cell. A copy of each chromosome is made before the cell divides and one of each chromosome goes to each new cell.
Yes, it does! This occurs during G2 phase of Mitosis.
Genetic Information is copied during Cell Division known as Mitosis. This occurs at the stage of Interphase in which the cell grows and prepares for division.
When a cell copies its DNA, each chromosome must be copied.
During metaphase each chromosome attaches to spindle fibers. The centriole anchors the spindle fibers and helps in splitting the chromosome.
interphase
Fist thing that happens is Interphase. This is what a cell spends most of its life in, but it is not part of Mitosis, it is before. Interphase is the duplicating of the cell's chromosomes( which hold the DNA). Next is Mitosis. I remember the four stages of Mitosis by PMAT. First stage of mitosis is Prophase, this is when the membrane surrounding the chromosomes is dissolved. Second stage is Metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the middle in pairs. Third stage is Anaphase, the chromosome pairs separate and go to opposite sides of the cell. Last stage of Mitosis is Telephase, the cell starts to split in half taking one of each chromosome. After Mitosis is Cytokinesis, this is when the membrane forms around the the chromosomes and the 1 parent cell is now 2 daughter cells.
The desired result of mitosis is the division of a parent cell's genome into two daughter cells, therefore a parent cell must make a copy of each chromosome it posseses before mitosis. So, barring any errors, if a parent cell contains 12 chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis, each of the two daughter cells will contain 12 chromosomes at the end of mitosis.
the homologous chromosome are pulled apart by spindles to each pole of the cell.
Metaphase
For a body cell it is called mitosis and for a sex cell it is called meiosis
