Question

If you followed a woman's cells through meiosis, at what stage of meiosis would the amount of DNA in one of these cells be equal to the amount of DNA in one of her G1 phase (before DNA replication) kidney cells

Answer 1

at the end of the meiosis I

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of meiosis I, the resulting number of chromosomes is equal to the number of chromosomes as the original diploid (2n) parent cell. Moreover, at the final of meiosis II, each daughter cell will have half of the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell, i.e., a haploid (n) number of chromosomes. All the somatic cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, while gametic cells have a haploid number of chromosomes. Kidney cells are somatic cells. In humans, each diploid cell contains 46 chromosomes (i.e. 23 pairs of chromosomes), while gametic cells (i.e., egg and spermatic cells) have 23 chromosomes. In consequence, in humans, kidney somatic cells and cells at the final of the meiosis I will have the same number of chromosomes (i.e., 46 chromosomes).
