MITOSIS
Cell division is the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells. Chromosome duplication occurs during the cell cycle when the DNA is replicated to create identical copies of each chromosome. This ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
The G2 phase is immediately preceded by the S ( DNA synthesis for chromosome duplication) phase, and is followed by the M (mitosis, or cell division) stage.
Chromosome duplication prior to mitosis ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic information. This is crucial for maintaining the correct number of chromosomes in each cell and for enabling accurate cell division. It also helps in preventing mutations and ensuring genetic stability in the daughter cells.
The chromosome number is halved during cell division in meiosis, not mitosis.
The type of cell division that is known as the duplication division is called DNA replication. During DNA replication, the genetic material is duplicated to maintain the genetic information in the daughter cells during cell division.

DNA duplication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle. This is when the DNA in the cell is replicated in preparation for cell division.
