After meiosis-I, the resultant daughter cells have

Options

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

Correct answer

B. twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete

Step-by-step solution

After meiosis-I, the resultant daughter cells have twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete. Meiosis-I causes segregation of homologous pairs of chromosomes. However, each chromosome is double-stranded, having two sister chromatids due to DNA replication before meiosis began.
