Question

The value C (amount of DNA per haploid genome) of an organism is 30pg. What is the amount of DNA contained in cells during
a) mitotic metaphase
b) sperm
c) telophase II
d) G2
e) prophase II
f) anaphase I
g) G1

Answer 1

If the cell is haploid, it has 30 pg of DNA in it. You're told this so just accept it for the duration of this problem.

If the cell is diploid, the definition of a diploid cell is that it has two complete copies of the genome, so it has twice the amount of DNA in it - 60 pg, by simple maths.

Basically the question asks whether each of the cells is haploid or diploid. If it's haploid, it has 30 pg of DNA. If it's diploid, it has 60 pg of DNA.

Answer 2

Exactly what @blues said, now if the question asked for how many would be for example, daughter cells, just use basic math and you will divide it by 2 when needed, simple math, that's all.

Answer 3

Yes and
Sperm = Haploid = 30 pg
G2=G1= Interphase= Diploid = 60 pg
Like that u can calculate for the rest

Answer 4

and yes
