Study Notes
Cleavage
- Cells produced during cleavage are called blastomeres.
- Successive cleavages result in an increase in the number of cells, but not in the overall size of the embryo, as the cytoplasm is divided equally among the cells.
- Cleavage is the series of rapid cell divisions that occur after fertilization, without significant growth, resulting in an increased number of cells, but not an increase in size.
