Detailed Solution
In anaphase it has 20 pg DNA because the amount of DNA is doubled in S stage and the two chromatids of each chromosome are formed. In Anaphase the chromosomes divide and there is formation of 32 chromosomes as daughter chromosomes because each chromatid of metaphase behaves as chromosome in anaphase.
