Solution

The correct option is B Amount of DNA in the parent cell is first doubled and then distributed into two daughter cells
Mitosis is a type of cell divison. There are two daughter cells formed at the end of mitosis. The amount of DNA in the parent cell is doubled in the S-phase of the interphase. There is breaking of the chromosomes and the chromosomes migrate to different poles during the anaphase. The DNA is equally distributed in the two daughter cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
