Chromosomes pair up with their partners and then divide, and are distributed into cells after 2 nuclear divisions so that 4 cells are formed. Then these develop into gametes. The result is that each gamete contains half the normal number of chromosomes possessed by any ordinary body cell.

The chromosomes duplicate themselves before the actual nuclear division (and before cytokinesis) to ensure that diploid cells (that have a full set of chromosomes) are formed, instead of forming haploid cells (that have half the number of chromosomes). The parent cell now containing 92 chromosomes (for humans) will undergo the cell division to give two daughter cells each of which will contain 46 chromosomes (for human body cells).

It gets divided in half and one half goes to the parent cell and the other to the new cell

DNA is stored in threadlike, tangled structures called chromatin within the nucleus of a cell. The the chromatin forms into chromosomes during mitosis. Heredity information carried in the chromosomes is passed into the two newly formed cells each time a cell divides.
