No. Chromosomes have the exact number of DNA a cell needs. When undergoing mitosis, the chromosomes replicate inside the cell. Only during that small period of time, does a normal human cell have twice the DNA that a cell needs. The end stage of mitosis is when the cell divides into two, equally dividing the DNA amongst the two daughter cells.
