How can you compare the complement of DNA in an interphase (G1) diploid cell and a cell that has just completed meiosis I?

The meiotic cell has half as much DNA and half as many chromosomes.
They have the same number of chromosomes, but the meiotic cell has half as much DNA.
The meiotic cell has twice as much DNA and twice as many chromosomes.
They have the same amount of DNA, but the meiotic cell has twice as many chromosomes.
They have the same amount of DNA, but the meiotic cell has half as many chromosomes.

Oh boy. This is more heavy biology than biochemistry. Maybe @nincompoop can also help out.

I know that G --> C, and I know A --> T 

And if they're diploid, then they're half a helix. 

I'm not very familiar with this form of biology, though. I'm not the best guy to ask about DNA. Ha ha. @e.mccormick , maybe?
