DNA molecule is like a twisted ladder. The horizontal bars are made up of A-T, T-A, G-C,C-G. (A for Adenine, T for Thiamine, G for guanine and C for Cytosine.) So if we brake the ladder longitudinally, we have sequences of A, T, G, C, and corresponding sequences of T,A,C,G on other half. So we can easily make two copies.
DNA replication and transcription occur in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, replication and transcription occur in the cytoplasm.
The sites where DNA replication and separation occur are called the replication fork, which is formed during DNA replication when the double-stranded DNA is unwound, and the centromere, which is the region of a chromosome where sister chromatids are held together before separation during cell division.
DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase.
DNA Helicase unwinds and unzips the DNA. It separates the two strands of DNA so DNA replication can occur.

The Replication of DNA does occur before the cell can divide.
DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.
In prokaryotes, DNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm. The replication process begins at the origin of replication on the DNA molecule and proceeds bidirectionally. Multiple replication fork structures are formed to speed up the replication process.
It occurs in metaphase.
