Viruses are not considered "alive" because they lack many of the properties that scientists associate with living organisms. Primarily, they lack the ability to reproduce without the aid of a host cell, and don't use the typical cell- division approach to replication.

Mitosis and meiosis are both cell division process except that the former is only done by somatic cells and the latter is done by gametes. In G1 phase or the growth phase of interphase, there is increase in cellular substance without DNA replication therefore DNA will be regarded as x. By the time when S or synthesis phase of interphase is finished, DNA replication is done therefore all phases that follow the S phase will have a DNA of 2x. In this case, the cell in metaphase of meiosis I has double the amount of DNA than the one in G1 phase because this cell already underwent the S phase. In meiosis, after the first division (meiosis I), there is reduction of genetic material into half (hence called reduction division) producing haploid cells. So a cell in the metaphase of meiosis II will have DNA half of that in metaphase of meiosis I thereby regarded as x.
