Abstract
Using constituent quark model constraints we calculate the
gluon and sea content of pions solely in terms of their
valence density and the known sea and gluon densities of the
nucleon. The resulting small-x predictions for and are unique and parameter free, being entirely
due to QCD dynamics. Similar ideas are applied for calculating the gluon
and sea content of kaons which, for our suggested choice of the kaon's
valence densities, turn out to be identical to the ones of the pion.
