After meiosis I, the resultant daughter cells have

1. half amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.
2. same amount of DNA as in the parent cell in S phase.
3. twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.
4. same amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.

Correct answer: twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.

Solution

After meiosis I, each daughter cell is haploid in chromosome number, but each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids. A haploid gamete after meiosis II has one chromatid per chromosome, so the meiosis I daughter cells contain twice as much DNA.
