The correct description of DNA after replication has taken place is:
**two molecules, each with one original strand and one new strand.**

**two molecules, each with one original strand and one new strand.**
This is known as semiconservative replication, where each new DNA molecule consists of one strand from the original DNA and one newly synthesized strand.
