Explanation:
DNA makes up the chromosomes which is divided into cells during mitosis. Chromosome and the DNA within are coded to give cells a specialized purpose. These cells are then used to help the organism live and carry out everyday functions.
DNA is given to said organism by the parent(s). Chromosomes are DNA strands condensed into a small package. While the DNA is constantly being reproduced the cells are too. The chromosomes are divided in the mitosis process. Remember the acronym PMAT. Prophase which the cell's nuclear envelope dissolves. Metaphase which the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase which the spindle fibers attach to the sister chromatids and pull them to each side. Telophase which the nuclear envelope reappears and the cell is ready to split into the daughter cells.
