How many double-stranded DNA molecules exist after DNA replication?

After DNA replication, there are two double-stranded DNA molecules.
DNA replication is a semi-conservative process where each original (parental) DNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. As a result, each original double-stranded DNA molecule separates into two strands, and each strand becomes a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This process results in the formation of two identical double-stranded DNA molecules, each consisting of one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand.
