The DNA sequence of the cell is not supposed to change during mitosis. There are actually "proof reading" and corrective enzymes to check for errors and correct them. However, sometimes a change does occur, and that change is called a mutation. Depending on which gene is affected, a mutation can have no effect or a devastating, life threatening effect, such as cancer.

Chromosomes are copied in the form of sister chromatids during S-phase of the cell cycle, which are then separated during mitosis. The centrioles also duplicate before mitosis begins to ensure proper formation of the mitotic spindle and accurate segregation of chromosomes.


When do chromosome duplicate themselves during mitosis?

Chromosomes duplicate during the S phase of interphase, which occurs before mitosis. Each chromosome replicates to form two identical sister chromatids that are held together at the centromere. These sister chromatids are then separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell during mitosis.
