The Process of Cell Division That Divides the Cytoplasm of the Zygote

Question

The process of cell division that divides the cytoplasm of the zygote among blastomeres is called
A)cleavage.
B)implantation.
C)placentation.
D)embryogenesis.
E)blastulation.

Accepted Answer

Cleavage is the process of cell division that divides the cytoplasm of the zygote among blastomeres. This is the first step in embryogenesis, which eventually leads to the formation of a multicellular organism. Implantation, placentation, and blastulation occur later in embryogenesis.
