they break apart and they find other DNA strands and form more DNA strands.
(When chromosomes are duplicated before mitosis, the amount of DNA in the nucleus is doubled).
The two strands of the DNA molecule unwind and separate. Each strand then becomes a pattern on which a new molecule is formed.
The appended link is an animation of the DNA replication process/
DNA makes copies of itself through the process of replication. Because the nucleotide bases are complementary, they automatically make the other strand of complementary bases when the division of the cell occurs.
In eukaryotes, this is during the S phase of the cell cycle, preceding mitosis and meiosis. The two resulting double strands are identical (if the replication went well), and each of them consists of one original and one newly synthesized strand. This is called semi conservative replication. The process of replication consists of three steps, initiation, elongation and termination. Artificial DNA replication is carried out through polymerase chain reaction.
The Deoxyribonucleuc Acid (or DNA), will split itself right down the middle. On the Glucouse, there is 1 nitrogen base. This base could be: Adnine, Thymine, Cytosine, or Guanine. Adnine will only pair up with Thymine. Cytosine will only pair up with Guanine. In animal cells, we have things called ribosomes that make the "Matches" for the other nitrogen bases. They are like "Extra puzzle pieces" waiting to be put together. Once an "Extra" finds it's match, it hooks together with it. Once they all find a match: BANG! A whole new set of IDENTICAL DNA. ~Elle~
The two strands of nucleotides unzip and new DNA nucleotides pair with the exposed nucleotides of the old strands, forming two new DNA molecules, each with an old strand and a new strand of nucleotides. For detailed information, refer to the related link.

A gene is the DNA code that can make a copy of itself.
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
