DNA segregation during asymmetric division and symmetric division. During asymmetric division the stem cell divides vertically, the new stem cell is located basally in relation to the new daughter cell that is in the apical position. The immortal DNA strands and associated newly synthesized DNA segregate to the basal stem cell while the new daughter cell contains newly synthesized DNA and the parental DNA. During symmetric cell divisions the two new stem cells each contain randomly distributed DNA containing both immortal strands and parental strands
