NOTE
- All clevage divisions are mitotic and resultant daughter cells are blastomers.
- During cleavage, there is no growth in the resulting blastomeres and the total size and volume of embryo
remains same, bcz in cleavage division interphase is without growth phase.
- During cleavage the size of blastomere keep on decreasing, as there is no growth of blastomere. zona
pellucida remains intact throughout the cleavage.
- During cleavage there is no increase in mass of cytoplasm of the developing embryo. however, there is
marked mincresen in the DNA containing chromosomal materials.
- the rate and type of cleavage depends upon the amount and distribution of yolk.
