After meiosis I, the resultant daughter cells have
(1) four times the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.
(2) same amount of DNA as in the parent cell in S phase.
(3) twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.
(4) same amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.

The correct option is (3) twice the amount of DNA in comparison to haploid gamete.

This is because – Meiosis I is a reductional division, which means that the resultant cell will have half the number of chromosomes as diploid parent cells. As a result, if the parent cell has 4C of DNA, the daughter cell will have 2C of DNA, and each gamete will have 1C of DNA.
