If egg of an organism has 10 picogram (Pg) of DNA in its nucleus. How much DNA would be present in a diploid cell of same organism having G2-phase of meiosis?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to understand the relationship between the DNA content in the egg cell and the diploid cell during the G2 phase of meiosis. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Understand the DNA content in the egg cell The problem states that the egg of the organism has 10 picograms (Pg) of DNA. This amount represents the haploid (N) state of the organism's DNA. ### Step 2: Determine the diploid state Since the organism is diploid (2N), we need to find the DNA content in a diploid cell. In diploid cells, the DNA content is double that of haploid cells. Therefore, if the egg cell (haploid) has 10 Pg, the diploid cell will have: \[ ...
