Solution
The correct option is A They have same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA A- The cells produced at the end of meosis cell division have half the number of chromosomes (termed as Haploid), so they will have half the number of chromosomes but same DNA as that of the parent cell as DNA divides and makes a copy of the parent cell DNA.
