Detailed Solution
After meiosis I the cell has ‘n’ no. of chromosomes and ‘2c’ amount of DNAThe leaf cell initially has 2n no.of chromosomes and 2c amount of DNA.In this case 2n=44 chromosomes2c=50 pg of DNADuring Interphase,The number of chromosomes remain 2n but the amount of DNA becomes 4c.Therefore,2n=44 4c= 100pgAfter meiosis In= 22 chromosomes2c=50pg of DNA
