Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In meiosis, the daughter cells have ____ the amount of DNA as the parent cell.
A
a third of
B
half of
C
the same
D
none of
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: After meiosis I, the resultant daughter cells have twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -At this point, nuclear division begins, and the parent cell is divided in half, forming 2 daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
