Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skin cells are diploid and contain two sets of chromosomes (2n), while gametes are haploid and contain only one set of chromosomes (n). During meiosis, the diploid cells undergo two rounds of division, resulting in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes. Therefore, gametes have half the amount of DNA as skin cells. Thus, skin cells contain twice as much DNA as the nuclei of gametes produced by meiosis.
