After meiosis I, the resultant daughter cells have:
- Asame amount of DNA as in the parent cell in S-phase
- Btwice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete
- Csame amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete
- Dfour times the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the DNA content of a haploid gamete be .Parent cell in : .Parent cell after -phase (and in ): .Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes but sister chromatids remain together. Thus, each daughter cell has half the chromosome number () but the DNA content is halved from to .Since a haploid gamete has , the daughter cell after Meiosis I has twice the amount of DNA ().
