The nucdlear DNA content of a single sperm cell varies depending on the species of the organism. If the amount of DNA in a singl

e sperm cell is 2.5 picogram(s), calculate the amount of DNA at different stages of meiosis. Part A What would be the expected nuclear DNA content (in picograms) of the cell before DNA replication has occurred in Interphase I (before S phase) ?Part B What would be the expected nuclear DNA content of a cell at metaphase 1?

Answer:

1. 5 pg of DNA.

2. 10 pg of DNA.

Explanation:

The process of meiosis results in the production of the four haploid daughter cells and is involved in the formation of sexual gametes. The sperm cells produced as a result of the meiosis are haploid in their ploidy and therefore contains only "C" amount of DNA.

<u>1. During interphase </u>

The sperms are formed from the diploid spermatocytes which contain 2C amount of DNA. During the cell cycle before the M phase, cell replication takes place in the S phase. The synthesis phase doubles the amount of DNA  and forms 2C to 4C.

Therefore before the S phase or in G1 phase, the DNA amount will be 2C or 2 x 2.5= 5 pg of DNA.

<u>2. At metaphase </u>

After S phase, the amount of DNA increases to 4C which gets distributed during the anaphase that is after the metaphase. Therefore, the amount of DNA during metaphase will be 4C or 4 x 2.5 = 10 pg.
