Question

if there are 20 chromosomes and 10 picogram of DNA in G1 phase of a diploid cell then the amount of DNA and number of chromosomes respectively in the product of meiosis 1 are​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

As the cell enters meiosis 1, it's DNA replicates in S phase and then reduces to half when the cell splits into two. Hence, the amount of DNA remains 10 pg.

During meiosis 2, there is no DNA replication but only division between cells, leading to 5 pg of DNA in all four daughter cells.

So, the correct option is '10 pg and 5 pg respectively
