Answer:

Each daughter molecule contains one parent strand and one newly synthesized strand

Step-by-step explanation:

In DNA replication, each daughter molecule contains one parent strand and one newly synthesized strand because DNA replication is semi-conservative. One template strand is parental strand and the other one is its complementary which is new one, which is synthesized by DNA polymerase enzyme. So both daughter molecule contains one parent strand and one newly synthesized strand and they are same in the sequence of bases because each strand contains one original parental strand.
