If a cell has completed meiosis i and the first cytokinesis, and is just beginning meiosis ii, which of the following is an appropriate description of its genetic contents?

The appropriate description of the genetic content of a cell that just completed meiosis I and cytokinesis and is about to begin meiosis II is that: it has half the amount of DNA as the cell that began meiosis

MEIOSIS:

Meiosis is the cell division that results in daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). It occurs in two distinct stages; Meiosis I and Meiosis II.Prior to undergoing any cell division including meiosis, the cell undergoes a phase called Interphase where it replicates its genetic material (DNA). The genetic material (DNA) content duplicates i.e. × 2 of the original number, during this phase. Each chromosome duplicates to form sister chromatids joined at the centromereIn meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) separates. Hence, the actual reduction in chromosomal number occurs in meiosis I, which also affects the DNA content, as each divided cell i.e. after cytokinensis, now contains ½ of the DNA that started the actual meiotic division.Therefore, after meiosis I and first cytokinesis, a cell will contain half the amount of DNA as the cell that began meiosis.
