Complex organisms must contain numerous cells to exist. These cells are constantly dividing through cellular division. Which BEST compares the DNA inside a parent cell to the DNA inside the two daughter cells produced during mitosis?

• The DNA from the parent cell does not share any DNA with the two daughter cells.

• The DNA from the parent cell is 50% identical to the DNA in the two daughter cells.

• The DNA from the parent cell is 75% identical to the DNA in the two daughter cells.

• The DNA from the parent cell is 100% identical to the DNA in the two daughter cells.
