The total DNA content of each daughter cell is reduced during meiosis because:

(1) Chromosomes do not replicate during the interphase preceding meiosis I

(2) Chromosomes do not replicate between meiosis I and II

(3) Half of the chromosomes from each gamete are lost during fertilization

(4) Chromosome arms are lost during crossing over
