Do Daughter cells have half as much DNA as parent cells after a cell cycle with mitosis?

In mitosis, each nucleus ends up with the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the original cell. However, I believe that that is only after their DNA is copied during DNA synthesis. So I think you are right, until they replicate, and in the end have the same number of chromosomes.
Hope that helps!

∙ 12y agoThe whole point (biologically speaking) of sexual reproduction is to blend together randomly chosen elements of the genetics of both parents in order to create offspring which have genetic variation, and can therefore potentially advance the evolution of the species; the new combination of DNA might have some advantage over the parents' DNA. It also might not, of course, but even a rare success can lead to improvements in the species as a whole, given the operation of the law of survival of the fittest.

Hope that helped!
If it didn't, then try Mitosis on wikipedia.

What do mitosis and cytokinesis produce?
Each cycle of mitosis produces 2 daughter cells from 1 parent cell. Cytokinesis is the final stage in each cycle, where a cleavage burrow is formed and the cell splits into two identical daughter cells.
What are the two types of regulators in the cell cycle?
Meiosis: Meiosis produces daughter cells that have one half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. (Also the sexual cell cycle that requires to different cells) Mitosis: Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. (Also the asexual cell cycle that requires only the one parent cell)
Daughter cells are identical to parent cell?
It is said that in meiosis, the daughter cells are not identical, cause the daughters cells have a combination of both parents' chromosomes. In the cell cycle they are identical.
What phase of the cell cycle does the daughter cells enter after mitosis and cytokinesis?
Daughter cells are actually the product of mitosis. There are two cells made by one cell that has gone through mitosis. Daughter cells are found at the final stages of mitosis, they will then probably go through mitosis themselves and produce two more cells.
Mitosis stage length?
The mitosis stage accounts for about 20% of the overall cell cycle. Mitosis is the stage where one cell duplicates into two identical daughter cells.
What do mitosis and cytokinesis produce?
Each cycle of mitosis produces 2 daughter cells from 1 parent cell. Cytokinesis is the final stage in each cycle, where a cleavage burrow is formed and the cell splits into two identical daughter cells.
How do the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis with their parent cell when it was in G1 of the cell cycle?
They are identical with same number of chromosome to the parent cell

What is the chromosome number of the parent cell in mitosis?
28
Which process of cellular division results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell?
Mitosis. Also asexual reproducing methods produce cells identical to parent cells. Ex-Fissions,budding

What are the three stages of the cell cycle?
The three stages of the cell cycle are interphase mitosis and cytokinesis. Interphase is when the cell grows and get all the nutrients that it need for mitosis, and replicates the DNA. Mitosis is when the cell divides into two daughter cells. Finally cytokinesis when the cells are completely separated.
How many cells result from the cell cycle?
When a cell undergoes mitosis as part of the cell cycle, it will produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
Mitosis stage length?
The mitosis stage accounts for about 20% of the overall cell cycle. Mitosis is the stage where one cell duplicates into two identical daughter cells.
How do the cells produced during mitosis compare to the original parent cell?
The newly formed cells in mitosis are exact replicas of the mother cell. It takes meiosis to create a different cell.
How are mitosis and meiosis simlair?
Meiosis and Mitosis are both the division of something. Meiosis is the division of chromosomes and Mitosis is the division of cells. They both occur in the cell cycle. Meiosis creates 4 daughter cells and Mitosis creates two complete cells.
