It is not two copies of DNA but double stranded DNA. Because our first cell (zygote) after the fertilization from male and female gametes (or cells that possess only one set of DNA or haploid) carry 1+1 DNA, it forms 2x as a result.
This is necessary for the duplication process of DNA called Replication.
They don't. A chromosome has two chromatids, connected by a centromere.
If you mean haploid, as in half of each chromosome, or containing only one chromatid from each full chromosome, thenthe cell is called haploid.

A chromatid is one half of a chromosome at a stage of the cell cycle when the chromosome contains two molecules of DNA.A chromatid is like a twin; you can only use the term when there are two of them!Before DNA replicates, each chromosome has only one molecule of DNA. After replication of the DNA, there are two DNA molecules in each chromosome. These become visible under a light microscope when the chromosomes condense during prophase of the next division.Each chromosome then looks like an X. The left side of the X contains one DNA molecule (together with proteins) and the right side contains the other. Each half of the chromosome is a chromatid. At anaphase of the division, the two chromatids are pulled apart. From then on they are no longer referred to as chromatids, but as daughter-chromosomes.
Each chromosome is originally made of one DNA molecule.
A chromatid is one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome. During cell division, the identical copies are joined together at the region of the chromosome called the centromere.Joined chromatids are known as sister chromatids. Once the joined sister chromatids separate from one another in anaphase of mitosis, each is known as a daughter chromosome.Chromatids are formed from chromatin fibers.Bailey, Regina. "Chromatid."

Chromatid
A duplicated chromosome consists of two chromatids.
the cells on ur body
Chromosomes and chromatids are related in that one is the duplicate of another. A chromatid comes about when chromosomes are duplicated. It holds replicated DNA of every single chromosome that is joined.
Chromatin, not to be confused with chromatid (one half of a chromosome).
