Question

think about how the total quantity of dna changes in one cell cycle of mitosis and how it changes in meiosis. then think about how the total number of cells changes in one cell cycle of mitosis and how it changes in meiosis. how do each of these features compare in mitosis and meiosis? the total quantity of dna doubles in both mitosis and in meiosis, and the total number of cells doubles in both mitosis and meiosis. the total quantity of dna doubles in mitosis and quadruples in meiosis, and the total number of cells doubles in mitosis and quadruples in meiosis. the total quantity of dna doubles in mitosis and quadruples in meiosis, and the total number of cells doubles in both mitosis and meiosis. the total quantity of dna doubles in both mitosis and in meiosis, and the total number of cells doubles in mitosis and quadruples in meiosis.

Explanation:

In mitosis, DNA replicates once and the cell divides once, doubling the DNA quantity and doubling the number of cells. In meiosis, DNA replicates once but the cell divides twice. So the DNA quantity doubles during replication and the number of cells quadruples after two - cell divisions.

Answer:

The total quantity of DNA doubles in both mitosis and in meiosis, and the total number of cells doubles in mitosis and quadruples in meiosis.
