How much of the parent DNA do cells from mitosis have?

Explanation:
Mitosis distributes an identical copy of the parent's DNA to each new cell. DNA replication occurs before mitosis, doubling the DNA content, but the division splits the duplicated chromosomes so that each daughter cell ends up with the same total amount of DNA the parent had at the start of the cycle. In other words, the two daughter cells have the same DNA content as the parent cell began with (for a diploid organism, the same chromosome set and amount of DNA as the parent).
