daser333 [38]

Using the theories of the cells, we got that 4 picograms of DNA would be expected in a metaphase in cell of a female if we assume that a g1 somatic cell nucleus in a female myrmecia pilosula contains 2 picograms of DNA.

Mitosis and meiosis are both types of the cell division. Mitosis is the process by which the  most cells in the body divide, involves a single round of cell division, and produces the two identical, diploid daughter cells. Meiosis is the process by which the gametes are produced.

DNA synthesis is the primarily common to both. If already formed, the cardiac tissues and nervous system cells will never replicate their daughter/sister cells either through the meiosis or the mitosis.

Hence, if we assume that a g1 somatic cell nucleus in a female myrmecia pilosula contains 2 picograms of DNA, then the amount of would be expected in a metaphase i cell of a female is 4 picograms.
