Best Answer

One cell would receive all the DNA, and the other would receive none. The one that receives no DNA would die since the cell needs an intact genome to function, and the other cell would probably die too. Having too many copies of chromosomes can be fatal, and I would expect that having double the needed DNA would kill the cell.
