How do cells at the completion of meiosis compare with cells that have replicated their DNA and are just about to begin meiosis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells at the completion of meiosis have half the number of chromosomes and one-fourth the amount of DNA compared to cells that have replicated their DNA and are just about to begin meiosis. This is because during meiosis, the chromosome number is halved and each chromosome is split into two sister chromatids (halving the DNA content again) by the end of the process.
