Reduced. It changes the cells from diploid(2x) to haploid(1x). x = # of chromosomes

MITOSIS is what replicates a cell while maintaining the DNA content. in MEIOSIS the DNA content of a cell is effectively halved (reductional division). Well.. I'm forced to add a source...

"Mitosis returns the cells to the 2C state. Meiosis reduces the amount of DNA even further, to 1C. Meanwhile the number of chromosomes (designated with the letter N) is also changing. For a diploid cell, the number of chromosomes is twice that of a haploid, or 2N. During mitosis, a diploid cell would go from one 2N cell to two 2N cells. Since the daughter cells have the same chromosome number as the parent, mitosis is also referred to as equational division. If a diploid (2N) cell undergoes meiosis, it will result in four haploid cells, each 1N. Thus, meiosis is also referred to as reductional division. Refer to Figure 11.2 for comparison of C and N values during division. "

Definitely replicated, nowhere in my 3 years of a biology degree do I remember DNA being reduced.

Reference: Im taking a Bio-chem degree at LU
