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

Interphase:
(1) Includes karyokinesis and cytokinesis

(2) Some time called resting phase, is the preparatory phase for division in which cell undergoes growth and DNA replication in an order

(3) Is the shortest phase in which biomolecules are synthesised very fast

(4) Includes 5% duration of the cell cycle
