it goes through mitosis and zips apart and then duplicates. it it keeps one old segment and a new one.
The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.

The chromatin in the cell becomes chromosomes in prophase, the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin coils tightly together to form into separate chromosome strands during this phase.

The two identical strands of a chromosome are called chromatids. DNA replication occurs in the interphase stage of the cell cycle.

every and any DNA strand can constitue to a chromosome :)

* the two exact copies of DNA that make up each chromosome.
You can tell a chromosome has doubled because of the DNA's strands. They coil very tightly.
Each chromosome has a single strand of DNA.
