DNA makes copies of itself through the process of replication.  Because the nucleotide bases are complementary, they automatically  make the other strand of complementary ba â¦ ses when the division of  the cell occurs.
It is highly important for DNA to be able to replicate itself so that chromosomes can be copied to give the exact same genetic code to every new cell that is made. It is the base pairing rules that allow DNA to replicate. <br /><br /> DNA replication takes part before cell division during mitosis and meiosis.
