How do daughter cells obtain their DNA?

A. The DNA in the parent cell nucleus makes a copy of itself and is then split between the two daughter cells during meiosis.

B. The DNA in the parent cell nucleus makes a copy of itself and is then split between the two daughter cells during mitosis.

C. Original chromosomes from the parent cell split in half and then each half goes to one of the two daughter cells during the cell cycle.

D. Original chromosomes from the parent cell split in half, and then each half goes to one of the two daughter cells during cytokinesis.
