After meiosis-I, the resultant daughter cells have
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.
