Question

What will be the amount of DNA in meiosis I products if a meiocyte contains 20 pg DNA in $G_1$ phase ?

• A. 10 pg
• B. 20 pg
• C. 40 pg
• D. 80 pg

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10 pg

Meiocyte is a cell that has undergone meiosis. Meiosis is a reductional division. So the cell must have 10 pg DNA in meiosis I, which is then reduced to 20 pg following reductional division.

So the correct answer is '10 pg'.
