Is a daughter's preoccupation with her studies, and her inability to assist her mother with all household chores, considered disobedience (ʿuqūq), even if the mother understands this preoccupation?

What you mentioned is not an act of disobedience (ʿuqūq). Your focus on studying is a form of righteousness (birr) towards your mother, as long as it pleases her. It is also recommended to help her with household matters whenever you are able.
