When a cell reproduces, what happens to its DNA? ( CBSE 2017)

During the process of reproduction DNA is transmitted from parents to offspring. But DNA is replicated before reproduction i.e. two copies of DNA are produced. During the time of cell division, the two copies of DNA are equally distributed between the two daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives same type and amount of DNA from the parent cell. Thus, the consistency in type and amount of DNA is maintained in the particular species of a living organism.
