Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cleavage is the rapid cell division that occurs immediately after fertilization. This division results in the formation of a multicellular embryo, where the cells are divided into smaller and smaller sizes without increasing the overall size of the embryo. Thus, division of cells is a direct result of cleavage. The formation of the nervous system, notochord and segmentation occur at later stages of embryonic development.
