Question

What would be the DNA content in a diploid cell at anaphase-I if its egg cell has $10$ pg DNA?

• A. $10$ pg
• B. $20$ pg
• C. $30$ pg
• D. $40$ pg

Answer 1

The correct option is A $10$ pg

Meiosis I is a equational division same as that of mitosis while meiosis II is a reductional division. During anaphase I stage, the homologous chromosome separated out and move towards the pole. At the end of anaphase I, two groups of chromosome are produced and the content of DNA remain same.

So the correct answer is '10 $pg$'
