After meiosis I, the resultant daughter cells have:

  1. A
    same amount of DNA as in the parent cell in S-phase
  2. B
    twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete
  3. C
    same amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete
  4. D
    four 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 ().
