Diploid nuclei of the ascomycete Neurospora crassa contain 14 chromosomes. A single diploid cell in an ascus will undergo one round of meiosis, followed in each of the daughter cells by one round of mitosis, producing a total of eight ascospores. If a single, diploid G2 nucleus in an ascus contains 400 nanograms (ng) of DNA, then a single ascospore nucleus of this species should contain how much DNA (ng), carried on how many chromosomes?

    Amount of DNA in a diploid G2 nucleus after S phase has already undergone DNA replication hence the amount of DNA in a diploid nucleus in G1 would be 200 ng. As the organism is diploid, 200 ng of DNA would be carried on 14 chromosomes.
