Yes ,In mitosis , the original strands split into 2 parts with the help of enzymes forming "Y" shaped split .The exposed ends of the strand ,two new complementary strands are synthesised. So the duplicated strand of DNA contains 50% of the original strand and rest of the 50% is synthesised.

How does DNA make the copy exactly the same as the original?

Yes. The cells go through mitosis, where the DNA doubles its chromosomes and eventually separate, giving an exact copy as the cell before.


What ensures that each new eukaryotic cell receives a copy of each chromosome?

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.
