What occurs in mitosis that gives the new cells identical DNA?

Question

If its meiosis, I'll kill myself.

Answer 1

Chromosomes that have been doubled before mitosis are lined up during metaphase and pulled apart evenly during anaphase. This makes two identical daughter nuclei.

Answer 2

The DNA replicates before the cells go through mitosis. Then, the DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and each replication gets pulled a separate way---two daugher cells with identical DNA are formed. Click below for an interactive animation:

Answer 3

the chromosomes copy themselves before the cell splits, then move to the poles of the cell. when the cell finally divides, each new cell has an exact copy of the DNA.
