A meiocyte in G₂ phase contains 20 picograms of DNA, the amount of DNA in each gamete is

At the G2 phase, the meiocyte contains 20 picograms of DNA (4C). After meiosis I, the two daughter cells each contain half the amount of DNA, or 10 picograms (2C). After meiosis II, each of these daughter cells divides again, resulting in four gametes, each with 5 picograms of DNA (C).
