Question

10.) After meiosis 1, the resultant daughter cells have
1. 4 times the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.
2. same amount of DNA as in the parent cell in S phase.
3. twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.
4 same amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete
​

Answer 1

4 same amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.

Answer 2

The cells have twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.

• At this phase, homologous chromosomes are split into two active cells.

• This then results in one chromosome which is composed of two chromatids per chromosome pair in each daughter cell, resulting in a total of two chromosomes.
• The active phase comes to an end when each homologous pair's chromosomes reach the cell's opposing poles.
