Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is true about the DNA of daughter cells after cell division?
A
It is completely different to the parent cell
B
It has 1/2 the amount as the parent cell
C
It is identical
D
It doubled
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -During every cell division, a cell must duplicate its chromosomal DNA through a process called DNA replication. The duplicated DNA is then segregated into two “daughter” cells that inherit the same genetic information. This process is called chromosome segregation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: It is important that the daughter cells contain the same genetic information as the parent cells because those cells will have the same functional job as the cell they came from. Without the right genetic material, the cell may not be able to function correctly or even survive.
