I need help on how to resolve these questions. The more detailed the better Thank You in advance!!

If a somatic cell from a mouse contains 40 picograms of DNA during G2 of interphase, then how many picograms of DNA would be present in each cell during anaphase I of meiosis?

If a somatic cell from a frog contains 20 picograms of DNA during G2 of interphase, how many picograms of DNA would be present in each gamete produced by this species?

40 picogram... Anaphase I will contain 2n DNA.

G2 there is 20 pg of DNA

During S phase, the content will double (40 pg of DNA)

Eventually, this 40 picograms will be distributed among 4 gametes.

So, there will be half the content there was in G2 in each gamete, thus, 10 pg of DNA per gamete is the answer.
