If we take the number of chromosomes in a haploid sperm cell or egg cell to be n and the total content of genomic DNA to be C, what is the number of chromosomes and the total genomic DNA content of a diploid G₁ phase cell and in a diploid G₂ phase cell from the same organism. A) n chromosomes, DNA content of 2C in G₁; 2n chromosomes, DNA content of 4C in G₂. B) 2n chromosomes, DNA content of 2C in G₁; 4n chromosomes, DNA content of 4C in G₂. C) 2n chromosomes, DNA content of 2C in G₁; 4n chromosomes, DNA content of 2C in G₂. D) 2n chromosomes, DNA content of 2C in G₁; 2n chromosomes, DNA content of 4C in G₂.
