How do cells at the completion of meiosis compare with cells that have completed interphase and are just about to begin meiosis ?
  1. They have same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA
  2. They have half the number of chromosomes and same amount of DNA
  3. They have half the number of chromosomes and one fourth the amount of DNA
  4. They have same number of chromosomes and same amount of DNA

A
They have half the number of chromosomes and one fourth the amount of DNA
B
They have same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA
C
They have half the number of chromosomes and same amount of DNA
D
They have same number of chromosomes and same 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.
