Solution

The correct option is D 160 pg
D. 160 pg
Solution : The DNA content in a diploid cell would be double of the haploid male gamete. So the diploid cell just before meiosis during prophase I would have 160 pg because the diploid cell would have doubled its DNA before the M phase.
So the correct answer is " 160 pg".
